Why do you think the Gnulib module is free from the same (or similar)
limitation?  Isn't FD_SETSIZE = 64 in winsock2.h?

Also, the pselect emulation in Emacs also emulates SIGCHLD from
sub-processes, something the Gnulib module does not AFAIR.

And finally, Gnulib dropped Windows 9X support long ago, so its module
will not run on those old versions (and actually is unlikely to run
even on Windows XP, as they've abandoned that as well).
