This configure check is very old and predates standartization of robust mutexes
in POSIX 2008: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=382030
Consequently, APR uses _np interfaces for robust mutexes, so the their uses in
locks/unix/proc_mutex.c would need to be fixed together with this configure
check.
But I don't understand their use of robust mutexes, in that file
proc_mutex_proc_pthread_acquire just calls pthread_mutex_consistent_np without
any sort of callback or indicating it to the caller via the return value.
