Anybody whose intelligence is enough to understand the gnulib code will 
understand that "win32" is an abbreviation of "Windows 32".

Please do not use "woe32" in code, use "w32" throughout.  Patch is _not_ 
approved for lib/poll.c and lib/select.c

Also:

Great example of consistency.  Too bad you cannot rename the pre-defined 
#defines.  Want to open a bug against GCC?
