Normally that should be enough to get the ‘struct pollfd’ definition no?

Does something like this build correctly with ‘gcc -Wall -c’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#include <poll.h>

foo (struct pollfd *x)
{
  return x->events;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
