Yes indeed:

#ifdef HAVE_LINUX_QUOTA_H
#  ifndef QUOTACTL_IN_LIBC
#    include <syscall.h>

int quotactl(int cmd, const char * special, int id, caddr_t addr) {
  return syscall(SYS_quotactl, cmd, special, id, addr);
}

#  endif
#endif

that seems pretty safely #ifdeffed. If there are linux systems without quota.h 
and without quotactl in their libc, then .. maybe quota support should just 
be turned off instead. But do such beasts exist? uLinux, perhaps?
