I'm not sure.  I know the timer_delete function is defined as
a weak symbol

mobile:kargl[205] find . -type f | xargs grep timer_delete
...
./librt/timer.c:extern int __sys_ktimer_delete(int);
./librt/timer.c:__weak_reference(__timer_delete, timer_delete);
./librt/timer.c:__weak_reference(__timer_delete, _timer_delete);
./librt/timer.c:__timer_delete(timer_t timerid)

which I believe means it can be overridden.  Looking at librt/aio.c
shows 

__weak_reference(__aio_read, _aio_read);
__weak_reference(__aio_read, aio_read);
__weak_reference(__aio_write, _aio_write);
__weak_reference(__aio_write, aio_write);
__weak_reference(__aio_return, _aio_return);
__weak_reference(__aio_return, aio_return);
__weak_reference(__aio_waitcomplete, _aio_waitcomplete);
__weak_reference(__aio_waitcomplete, aio_waitcomplete);
__weak_reference(__aio_fsync, _aio_fsync);
__weak_reference(__aio_fsync, aio_fsync);

David Xu can probably answer your question, but I haven't
seen a recent email from him.
