Compiling gnunet-fuse fails on Arch due to

undefined reference to `pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np'

In the file that provokes the error there is this comment:

    This prototype is somehow missing in various Linux pthread include files. But we need it and it seems to be available on all pthread-systems so far. Odd.

The reason is that pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np() is deprecated and non-standard. The standard version is called pthread_mutexattr_settype().
