That explains it! So the specification of poll() is indeed different from the
Linux one.

Hmm, too bad! I tested here with 64-bit integers with
#if (int)-1 == 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
and it worked.
Unfortunately, "#if sizeof(int) == 4" is not allowed in C, that's why I used the
above construct.
Does anybody have a better idea?
