For some reason I looked at Issue 6 of the standard (a previous
version, released in 2004). In that version pthread_mutexattr_settype
and PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE are optional. See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/pthread.h.html

However, it is probably best to just ignore the issue for now until
some platform appears where pthreads is available but not recursive
mutexes.
