PR/3195.  I was almost positive that the PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER screwup
was limited to Solaris 2.6 (rather, /usr/include/pthread.h revision 1.16).
A different bug was found in Solaris 7 (pthread.h revision 1.26, I believe).

Loren provided a fixincludes patch, but it never went in.  (See audit
trail for more.)

Solaris 8 (pthread.h revision 1.29) doesn't seem to have either problem, so
it may just be that you have a weird installation of the SUNWhea package.
Or perhaps more changes were made in Solaris 9, and it's broken (wrt gcc)
again.

I've been hunting through Sun's bug reports, none of them mention a
bracketing problem with the initializer.  If it is fixed, there's nothing
particular at Sun to point to.
