It isn't that simple.

APR_POLLSET_THREADSAFE has to be supported, and that is more than the well-known capabilities of threads and polling.

APR_POLLSET_THREADSAFE means that the platform has an advanced polling mechanism which allows pollsets to be manipulated in a certain way, and that APR has an implementation that uses that mechanism.

Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD/Mac OS X are platforms that satisify both characteristics. z/OS is a platform that has an advanced polling mechanism but without an APR implementation in the stable branches. Neither AIX nor HP-UX have APR implementations, though I'd guess that the OS has the feature and nobody has gotten around to exploiting it in APR.

Thank you for the clarification. I'll further clarify what I put in the docs as
soon as I have a chance.
