Paul noted in bug#32452 that:
---
I notice that Emacs's GNUstep code calls 'select'. For completeness this
should be 'pselect' instead, so that Emacs never calls 'select'.
---
So that should be fixed. (I open a new bug report, because that bug
report was already way too long.)

I guess it's this code:
- (void)fd_handler:(id)unused
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check data waiting on file descriptors and terminate if so.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
{
[...]
result = select (selfds[0]+1, &fds, NULL, NULL, NULL);
if (result > 0 && read (selfds[0], &c, 1) == 1 && c == 'g')
waiting = 0;
nsterm.m uses pselect throughout otherwise, so I guess changing this to
pselect should be unproblematic, too? Perhaps Alan has some comments;
added to the CCs.

Iʼve been running with the following for a whole two days with no ill
effects (and the resulting emacs binary does not contain any calls to
'select'). Last time I looked, emacs never seems to use the sigmask
parameter to 'pselect' anyway, so itʼs kind of a moot point.

That LGTM, but I only tested on GNUstep. The same code is also used on
macOS, so there might be some side effects.
Though the NS port is very old and I get the feeling that we keep
bumping into relics from over two decades ago, and using `select' might
very well be one of those.
Thanks.

Iʼm on macOS

Every platform has a replacement for `select', but theyʼre all
different. The only real issue I see with (p)select is that you canʼt
wait on more than FD_SETSIZE descriptors.
