Select() is implemented for sockets in RTEMS-4.5.  It's a pretty
expensive call though.  In many cases you would be better off starting a
thread for each socket and allowing the thread to block.  Timeouts could
be handled with the setsockopt().  There are also lower-level
RTEMS-specific hooks for informing a task when a socket becomes ready.
