That doesn't seem to be so - at least not for my copy of glibc:

/usr/include/sys/select.h:/* fd_set for select and pselect. */
/usr/include/sys/select.h: } fd_set;
/usr/include/sys/select.h:#define FD_ISSET(fd, fdsetp) __FD_ISSET (fd, fdsetp)

Besides, this is inside the kernel. The I/O polling architecture definitions
(which includes select) ought to be in one place there, not spread out all
over the place.
