It looks like since 6a2a70a02, latch.c effectively uses HAVE_SYS_EPOLL_H
to decide whether it can include <sys/signalfd.h>, which seems not too
well thought out. A proper fix will require another configure check,
but you could hack it by adding -DWAIT_USE_POLL to CPPFLAGS in
src/Makefile.global after running configure.
FWIW, EL5 is *ancient*. You really oughta consider an update.
