>Description:
In the definition of PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER in 
/usr/include/pthread.h some elements of the
pthread_mutex_t structure are not initialized, leading
to warnings with -ansi -Wall:

>Fix:
fixincludes should change the definition of PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
in /usr/include/pthread.h, line 63, from
  #define	PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER	{{{0}, 0}, {{{0}}}, 0}
to something that matches the declaration of the pthread_mutex_t
structure better:

typedef struct _pthread_mutex {
        struct {
                uint8_t __pthread_mutex_flag[4];
                uint32_t __pthread_mutex_type;
        } __pthread_mutex_flags;
        union {
                struct {
                        uint8_t __pthread_mutex_pad[8];
                } __pthread_mutex_lock64;
                upad64_t __pthread_mutex_owner64;
        } __pthread_mutex_lock;
        upad64_t __pthread_mutex_data;
} pthread_mutex_t;

(Sorry, I am not enough a C hacker to know how to initialize
the union properly :-)

 pthread_mutex_t t = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
 
 
 The same error also occured with gcc2.95. However, the new
 libstdc++ includes this file in some place, so more people
 will probably see this problem with gcc3 than with previous
 gcc versions.
