You have to recompile nginx *without* --with-file-aio configure 
option.

Your system lacks eventfd() support and nginx compiled with
--with-file-aio configure option (on another host? compile on the 
host in question with --with-file-aio should fail unless your 
system headers screwed up) won't work on it.
