>Description:
_POSIX_THREADS macro should be defined in unistd.h instead of pthread.h.
_PTHREAD_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS shouldn't be defined at all since the
functions it claims to be available do not exist.
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER does not exist.

For verification, consult Butenhof's Programming with POSIX threads,
section 3.2.1 "Creating and destroying a mutex" on page 49,
section 9.1 "POSIX 1003.1c-1995 options" on page 307 and
section 9.3.11 "Thread-safe functions" on page 388.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Move the _POSIX_THREADS macro from pthread.h to unistd.h.
Move the _PTHREAD_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS to unistd.h and
comment it out.
I don't know how the PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER should be
implemented, but some of your team members should know it.
