It's an initializer that is missing initializer for some members.
Looks like the pthread_mutex_initializer from pthread.h on Solaris
isn't good enough for pthread_mutex_t as defined there. In fact, it's
not initializing all members.

Nope, because uninitialized members are zero-initialized anyway.

If there is such an option, that's what you want.
