The illumos implementation of epoll is not good enough to be used by Python and so OpenIndiana modifies the configure script to make sure the epoll is not detected (and so not used). Here are patches for Python 3.7, 3.9, 3.12, and 3.13.

It would be great if there is some configure option to disable epoll so we do not need to cary these patches.

Thank you.
