I can't help with the original request, but you should note that Mutexes are intended for use with processes, while threads should use Futexes.
But usually you don't care about this, as with threads you better use pthreadlib (part of libc) which encapsulates all this four you. here you use the ptherad_mutex...() functions to manage the Futexes :) .
