Or redefine FD_SETSIZE (from the entire NOTES of man -s 3c select) :

NOTES
      The default value for FD_SETSIZE (currently 1024) is larger
      than the default limit on the number of open files. To
      accommodate 32-bit applications that wish to use a larger
      number of open files with select(), it is possible to
      increase this size at compile time by providing a larger
      definition of FD_SETSIZE before the inclusion of any
      system-supplied header. The maximum supported size for
      FD_SETSIZE is 65536. The default value is already 65536 for
      64-bit applications.
