What about pthread_rwlock_t (you can see this in
/usr/include/pthread.h). I notice that the function prototypes are
surrounded by an "#ifdef __USE_UNIX98" which I'm unfamiliar with. I can
do a "p sizeof (pthread_rwlock_t)" in gdb with a pthread linked program,
so it seems to be available (32 bytes a mutex, not bad I guess). Cheers.
