Thanks for your feedback.

The background of my asking was that I wanted a higher version of
libaio-dev which is a prereq for fio on Ubuntu/precise for my tests
with loop-mq feature.

Cannot say if it is possible to build with syscall.h and aio_abi.h
directly (shipped with the Linux-kernel sources which might change
from release to release).
