Hm.  Thanks for that.  I've searched and it doesn't appear that
Debian/Ubuntu provide these macros in any of the glibc6 packages,
including the dev and debug packages.

So, I obtained the Git repo to get them.

Is there any easier way to generate the nptl_lock_constants.py file
from the nptl_lock_constants.pysym file checked into Git, other than
building the entirety of the glibc package?  Does the make environment
have a target I can use that will just generate these constant files
without compiling all the code?
