Run "emacs -Q -nw" in an xterm (or some other modern terminal emulator
that sets $TERM to xterm) and press S-up.  Rather than moving the cursor
and selecting text, Emacs beeps and informs you: <select> is undefined.

This seems to have been discussed a few times, e.g. in the threads
starting at 

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2011-05/msg00174.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg00267.html

The latter thread mentions in

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg00290.html

that the following change

would fix that; I can confirm that, but don't know if it might break
anything.

So I removed the obsolete IBM code now, for the next release.
