I just moved your test in place of the old AC_CHECK_LIB.

Indeed alloc.c already had a workaround for this.  I moved it up from 
alloc.c to alloc.h.

If you have time, could you improve win_recv so that it works for 
sockets and pipes, as well as restoring support for the third set in 
win_select? (Long term, it's probably just better to merge win_select 
and win_recv into a Windows-specific implementation of poll, but for now 
let's keep your solution).

Thanks!
