I'm not really sure whether it may be needed, esp. for Mac OS X, where en ENOTSOCK is expected from a recv() but then dealt with by
an ioctl(), which does not resert socket_errno, but does set r to something not -1. And wouldn't need this code path?
There's some similar code a few lines up, which too has that part commented out:

      /* If the event happened on an unconnected server socket,
         that's fine. */
      else if (r > 0 || ( /* (r == -1) && */ socket_errno == ENOTCONN))
        happened |= (POLLIN | POLLRDNORM) & sought;

Bye, Jojo
