I went looking for sources online, but didn't get very far (or look long).

I found a note about Solaris that says RPC was fixed in 2.6 to stop using
select(), but my guess is that doesn't mean they fixed the svc_fdset stuff,
just the standard listener logic in the library that we're not using.

Another note mentioned the option of defining FD_SETSIZE ahead of
sys/select.h, but that's not very appealing to me.
