It turns out that SUSv3:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/toc.htm

states that following variables must be defined in sys/types.h (their
definitions in pthread.h must be identical)

pthread_attr_t
pthread_barrier_t
pthread_barrierattr_t
pthread_cond_t
pthread_condattr_t
pthread_key_t
pthread_mutex_t
pthread_mutexattr_t
pthread_once_t
pthread_rwlock_t
pthread_rwlockattr_t
pthread_spinlock_t
pthread_t

It has been reported that Sun Grid Engine relies on this behavior.
