Does it mean that after upgrading gnulib we can drop the MS-Windows host
routines (which need to be written yet) again?
IMO a more clean solution would be s/gdb_select/select/g, drop gdb_select from
mingw-hdep.c and import gnulib select instead which handles what gdb_select is
there fore, hopefully more transparently. But I haven't tried any of that.
