AFAICS the problem is that this ifdef is true:

#if defined (__stub_epoll_create) || defined (__stub___epoll_create)
choke me

However, a grep -r of both these over /usr/include doesn't give
anything, nor does a grep -r of epoll_create show anything likely.

Adding XXX to the end of both the above symbols result in a successful
build, although I can't really vouch for it working correctly :-)
I did try this:

$ nm ./src/rageircd | grep epoll
                 U epoll_create@@GLIBC_2.3.2
                 U epoll_ctl@@GLIBC_2.3.2
00000001200798b8 b epoll_fds
                 U epoll_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2

So it seems it did in fact find those symbols in glibc.
