attaching the patch, as i currently have problems with git-send-email, and it would force me to use the wrong author name.

got the OK from Timo on IRC to send his patch.

thanks, --JS

From dc28b1183af73e205d835414cacc9d9dfdf8af02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timo Teräs timo.teras@iki.fi Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 13:17:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] conf.c: use portable way to initialize recursive mutex MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP is not in POSIX, as _NP (non-portable) suggests.

exposing such a symbol in musl libc would lock in the ABI for all times and makes it impossible to do future changes to the under- lying struct without hideous symbol versioning hacks.

use the portable way instead: pthread_once was designed for such cases.
