Paolo spends time and adds complexity adding workarounds against Wine bugs
to the 'poll' and 'select' modules.

Simon reports tests failures:

about tests which work perfectly fine under Windows but fail under Wine.

Last week, when executing the gnulib tests on a QEMU emulated
Solaris/x86, I got a dozen of test failures (test-vasnprintf-posix,
test-isfinite, test-frexpl-nolibm, etc.) that point to an incorrect
handling of +0.0 or -0.0.

I don't think there's much point in spending time on these failures.
Ultimately people want to use Win32 binaries on Windows (or possibly
ReactOS), but not on Wine. People wanting to execute programs on Linux
will use the ELF format compiled programs, not the .exes for Win32.

Btw, if someone can offer me a login on a real Solaris/x86 box, I would
appreciate it.
