Some like this? Yes, that would fix it. I have been holding back on a patch
for this because I was thinking of doing it the ./configure way like it's
done in lib and src, i.e. with HAVE_SYS_SELECT_H wrappers.

On the other hand, the latest POSIX demands that one should always include
<sys/select.h> for anything select() (thus also for fd_set), so should it
really be necessary with wrappers for e.g. sys/types.h and sys/select.h?
Or are there some curl-supported platforms without these files?

on AIX at least)
