In the output from configure I just get:
checking for select... yes

In the config.log, I see it trying various parameter lists for select,
getting the same error each time:
configure:35510: gcc -c -ansi conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function `main':
conftest.c:118: error: parse error before "fd_set"

Then it appears to succeed with this one:
| int
| main ()
| {
| extern int select (unsigned int,
| fd_set *, fd_set *, fd_set *,
| const struct timeval *);
| ;
| return 0;
| }
configure:35510: gcc -c -ansi conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function `main':
conftest.c:119: warning: `struct timeval' declared inside parameter list
conftest.c:119: warning: its scope is only this definition or
declaration, which is probably not what you want
configure:35516: $? = 0

dolly(markw)> grep SELECT_TYPE lib/config.h
#define SELECT_TYPE_ARG1 int
#define SELECT_TYPE_ARG234 (int *)
#define SELECT_TYPE_ARG5 (struct timeval *)

fd_set is defined in sys/_fd_macros.h, which is included in sys/time.h .
