I actually want to include the headers. Not that I would refuse to copy 
verbatim from headers (binary compatibility allows that to work as long we 
use the same host OS / libc combination).

Yes, more portable but slightly slower. Also, if you get the compiler to 
inline the code anyway, you only write pseudo-ops in assembler, so that's no 
problem.
