ltdl.c can't be compiled on NCR MP-RAS.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -c ltdl.c   -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ltdl.lo
ltdl.c:200: `mutex_lock' redeclared as different kind of symbol
/usr/include/sys/mp/mplock.h:241: previous declaration of `mutex_lock'
ltdl.c:200: warning: `mutex_lock' was declared `extern' and later `static'
ltdl.c:201: `mutex_unlock' redeclared as different kind of symbol
/usr/include/sys/mp/mplock.h:242: previous declaration of `mutex_unlock'
ltdl.c:201: warning: `mutex_unlock' was declared `extern' and later `static'
make[1]: *** [ltdl.lo] Error 1

Extracted from sys/mp/mplock.h:

extern void mutex_init      ( mutex_t *lp, int flags, lockinfo_t *info );
extern int  mutex_lock      ( mutex_t *lp, int flags, int (*spl)() );

with my small patch, "All 83 tests passed".
