Hello,



thanks for reporting this and sorry for the delay.



It seems to me that your libc exports the functions of the epoll(7) subsystem, but that your kernel doesn't.



Which versions of libc and kernel are you using? ("ldd --version" and "uname -a")



The nsock configure check might be not accurate enough. I've found [1] after a brief research but it seems to be a GNU 
autoconf archive command. Is that a problem? Otherwise does someone know how to make the check in an appropriate way?
