If you havenot solved this yet, check the program source for tst-mutex8.
It looks like this is testing the mutex locks which are required for
pthreads to work successfully without collisions in data space. You may
also need an additional library for the mutex stuff, and there were some
changes I believe when ANSII redid some of the specs about mid 2006 to
handle some exceptions better to help prevent race conditions. It may
be that the code in this example predates those changes and is calling
something that has been deprecated or removed.
