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).
