A non-old libc should do just as well. Perhaps something in the
5.4.x range.

As I recall, that's correct. Recent libraries support poll emulation
over select(2). However, recent experimental [linux] kernels -- any
but the earliest 2.1.x -- have a native "poll" system call, which the
same recent libraries will use if it's available. Veering slightly
further from the topic, it's interesting to note that the select
system call is now implemented (internally) on top of a poll-like
interface.
