Does it come from Ubuntu?
If so, I don't any modern Linux should configure the "file" mutex
mechanism by default, and you could possibly report it...

Honestly I don't know how "fnctl" works on Linux, but I'd recommend
using no Mutex directive at all (same as "Mutex default") which falls
back to "Mutex sysvsem default" given your output of apachectl (i.e.
"-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE"), or possibly "Mutex pthread default"
which is the most efficient on Linux IMHO (also robust, leaks free on
crashes).

Both suggested mechanisms above are not file backed, "sysvsem" can be
seen with the "ipcs -s" command and "pthread" is (shared-)memory only.

Hopefully, the "file" mechanism is not suitable anyway or modern OS.

Good idea :)
