Sorry, I should have answered more clearly. System headers are of
course written in C, but usually portably enough to allow them to be
included in either C or C++ programs. But this syntax

was not part of C when C++ was invented, and it isn't valid C++.
What best to do about it, I'm not sure. We could work around it in
Rosegarden by adding a separate C file just to define the mutexes in.
Maybe there's another usual workaround. Where does one get this
header from? Is there NPTL-specific documentation? Can you find out
why it uses such a recent C extension and whether there's an expected
way to use it from C++?
