Rather, we have a section in the Makefile which sets things like NO_IPV6=YesPlease, OLD_ICONV=UnfortunatelyYes, etc. Later in the Makefile, dependent on this Makefile variable, symbols are defined. In the source code, we check for these symbols. It is not only a matter of being able to reuse the same symbol for another platform/setup, it is also a nice way of documentation. In your case, I suggest NO_SYS_SELECT_H=UnfortunatelyYes.
