The kqueue syscall is broken in all known versions - most versions support
only sockets, many support pipes.
Libev tries to work around this by not using C<kqueue> by default on
this rotten platform, but of course you can still ask for it when creating
a loop.

probably going to work well.

If you want to use libev in threaded environments you have to make sure
it's compiled with C<_REENTRANT> defined.
=head3 Event port backend
The scalable event interface for Solaris is called "event ports". Unfortunately,
this mechanism is very buggy. If you run into high CPU usage, your program
freezes or you get a large number of spurious wakeups, make sure you have
all the relevant and latest kernel patches applied. No, I don't know which
ones, but there are multiple ones.

great.

AIX unfortunately has a broken C<poll.h> header. Libev works around
this by trying to avoid the poll backend altogether (i.e. it's not even
compiled in), which normally isn't a big problem as C<select> works fine
with large bitsets, and AIX is dead anyway.
