No, sorry, that claim about syscall not working with larger FD_SETSIZE was
indeed wrong.
But what if fdset is part of some API, e.g. a select() wrapper? You are in to a
huge mess at that point. The correct solution is to port the application to a
saner API than select(), if you want something quick'n'dirty you can just copy
the appropriate header over to your tree and modify your local version. But I
don't see the value of making this very problematic change easier.
