+	pselect: new module
+	* lib/sys_select.in.h: Include <signal.h>, for 'sigset_t'.
+	(pselect): New decls.
+	* m4/sys_select_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_SELECT): Require AC_C_RESTRICT,
+	since the standard pselect decl uses 'restrict'.
+	(gl_SYS_SELECT_H_DEFAULTS): Add defaults for GNULIB_PSELECT,
+	HAVE_PSELECT, REPLACE_PSELECT.
+	* modules/sys_select (sys/select.h): Substitute GNULIB_PSELECT,
+	HAVE_PSELECT, REPLACE_PSELECT.
+	* lib/pselect.c, m4/pselect.m4, modules/pselect: New files.
+
 	sys_select: don't depend on sys_socket
 	This is so that Emacs doesn't have to drag in m4/sockpfaf.m4 etc; see
 	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-06/msg00358.html>.
