I received the errors for tail.c shown below when compiling coreutils on
MacOS (11.6). Adding __APPLE__ to the #if defined for poll.h fixes the
issue (see the diff at the bottom). Making this change matches that line
to the one within check_output_alive().
commit 324c188cfd8a1628c260e5003d309613a0c66e57 (August 29, 2022) made
the change to check_output_alive(), but missed the change reported here.
