Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2005-09-06 18:41:32 UTC 
This isn't necessarily correct.  If, as suggested in another bug, the
__libc_loc_* definitions are moved into a separate file where they are defined
by the project using the code, then there can be locking operations defined. 
The correct way to do this is define a macro which indicates locking is used.
