Either Makefile.am or configure.in.  In particular, we check for
windows by this stanza in configure.in:

dnl - check if the macro WIN32 is defined on this compiler.
dnl - (this is how we check for a windows version of GCC)
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for WIN32)
AC_TRY_COMPILE(,
	[
#ifndef WIN32
die horribly
#endif
	],
	bwin32=true; AC_MSG_RESULT(yes),
	bwin32=false; AC_MSG_RESULT(no),
)

So if your configure is saying, "checking for WIN32... no", then the
bug is in configure.in.  But if it says "yes" and then tries to build
select.c anyway, the bug's probably in Makefile.am
