[PATCH]: gl_recursive_lock_init issue with pthread backend

[Yoann Vandoorselaere]

Hi,

The gl_recursive_lock_init() macro used for the pthread backend never
set the mutex attribute to be recursive. The end result is that a
'standard' mutex is created, which will deadlock on recursive use. A
patch is attached that fixes this issue.

Additionally, lock.h make use of the abort() function, which can be a
problem if the application / library handle pthread error in a specific
way. Is that done on purpose, or are you interested in a patch?

Regards,
