Description:
-DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release requires libaio on Linux. I have an old platform (CentOS 5.2) and the build fails there. I modified mysql_release.cmake to avoid a fatal in this case. 

If it is required, can you add mysql_release_noaio.cmake? Or add a shortcut for me to get all of the build options without requiring libaio. Lots of people will be reluctant to link with that library or to install it on a large number of servers.

How to repeat:
Build 5.5.8 from source on a CentOS 5.2 box that doesn't have libaio

Perhaps a option to force AIO off. FWIW, CentOS 5.2 should have libaio, even Oracle uses it :-)

Surely RPM exists according to rpm.pbone.net, for example. But it would be nice to be able to build without it.

      Allow users to build without aio if they really want to, by passing
      -DIGNORE_AIO_CHECK to cmake.

Noted in 5.5.9, 5.6.1 changelogs.

cmake -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release on Linux previously required
libaio to be linked in. Now it is possible to specify
-DIGNORE_AIO_CHECK to build without libaio.
