[issue17919] AIX POLLNVAL definition causes problems

[David Edelsohn]

David Edelsohn added the comment:

That's the way AIX allocated the bits. It's nice to check for overflow, but I think the test is imposing more semantics on the mask bits than POSIX requires. It just happens that the GLibc allocation of bits works out okay.
