I believe It can:
make menuconfig / General setup /
Configure standard kernel features / 'Enable event poll'

Having 'Enable .config support' & 'Enable access to .config through
/proc/config.gz' is not a bad idea. You avoid human error (on seeing
the wrong /boot/config file).

Shifting back to the original issue, I have to insist that errno = 38
(Function not implemented) means an unimplemented syscall, so your
kernel does not have support for this syscall while your libc do. If
you don't have libc support for epoll, you get a link error (like you
have in Slack 10.0).
