ash: fix 'read' shell built-in (2)
Enabling polling in the previous commit resulted in the following incorrect behaviour: { echo -n te; sleep 3; echo st; } | (read -t 1 x; echo "$x") An empty "$x" is echoed immediately, not after 1 second. { echo -n te; sleep 1; echo st; } | (read -t 3 x; echo "$x") An empty "$x" is echoed immediately. "test" should be echoed after 1 second. This arises because poll(2) from gnulib is unable to handle anonymous pipes properly due do deficiencies in Microsoft Windows. These have been acknowledged and fixed in relation to select(2): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-06/msg00051.html Apply a similar fix to poll(2). Costs 104-156 bytes.
