Already in newlib.

Already defined in Cygwin.  We don't have a generic poll.h header in
newlib.

Already defined in Cygwin.  We don't have a generic dlfcn.h header in

No worries as soon as the API is stable.

No worries, these APIs won't change compared to their already
existing implementations in GLibc.
