In the gamin package, patch
0003-fix-missing-PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.patch was introduced to fix
the build with musl. Indeed, while musl defines "linux", it does not
define PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP, but only PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE. So
the check was simplified to only verify if PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP is
defined.
However, this doesn't work well with uClibc linuxthreads. In uClibc,
PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP and PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE are not
pre-processor defines, but enum values. For this reason, even if
PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP actually exists, #if
defined(PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP) is false. So, the gamin code falls
back to using PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE.
Except that for uClibc linuxthreads, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE is defined
only if __USE_UNIX98 is defined. For the NPTL implementation,
PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE is defined either if __USE_UNIX98 or
__USE_XOPEN2K8 are defined. This strange difference has been reported to
uClibc-ng upstream [1].
However, regardless of this uClibc behavior, using #if defined to check
for the availability of PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP is not good. This
commit therefore switches to using a proper AC_CHECK_DECL() autoconf
test, which works regardless of whether the value is #define'd or
defined as an enum value.
This fixes the build of gamin on linuxthreads platforms, such as
Microblaze or m68k.
