to select() or poll() ??

Which asynchronous multiplexer is "recommended" to use, select() or
poll(). From the Solaris man pages, I read the following;

"The poll(2) function is preferred over this function. It must be
used when the number of file descriptors wxceeds FD_SETSIZE"

Linux offers in libevent a "call back" functionality for multiplexing
I/O desccriptors. Are these functions accepted as portable standard c
libraries?
