That's what I've got for glibc case:
-------------------------->8-------------------------
## lock-obj-pub.arc-buildroot-linux-gnu.h
## File created by gen-posix-lock-obj - DO NOT EDIT
## To be included by mkheader into gpg-error.h
typedef struct
{
long _vers;
union {
volatile char _priv[24];
long _x_align;
long *_xp_align;
} u;
} gpgrt_lock_t;
#define GPGRT_LOCK_INITIALIZER {1,{{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, \
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, \
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}}}

I'd say it looks similar to uClibc version which is below
as a reference:
-------------------------->8-------------------------
## lock-obj-pub.arc-buildroot-linux-uclibc.h
## File created by gen-posix-lock-obj - DO NOT EDIT
## To be included by mkheader into gpg-error.h
typedef struct
{
long _vers;
union {
volatile char _priv[24];
long _x_align;
long *_xp_align;
} u;
} gpgrt_lock_t;
#define GPGRT_LOCK_INITIALIZER {1,{{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, \
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, \
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}}}
