I guess the user have a different kernel/glibc than I do (I'm using RH9+updates from RH for RH9+updates from FedoraLegacy for RH9 as of the releases of Wine). The epoll detection/support is not very robust yet it seems.

Hmm, OK. Actually there are several threads, just search for
epoll_create on the forums. As long as you're aware of the issue I'm
happy.

We should really be dynamically detecting this at runtime not compile
time.

Well, maybe. The ethos of autopackage is "build once, install anywhere"
so before packaging Wine as an autopackage I'd have done the work to
make this dynamically loaded. Features enabled at compile time not
runtime are e.v.i.l and should generally by regarded as bugs IMHO. The
RPM ethos is the exact opposite: "build many, install once".

But the issue here is with Wine rather than the actual packaging
technology in use.

That is a bit bizarre, I just checked and TG CVS appears to use standard
poll not epoll. But who knows what their binaries use.
