Maybe the compile switches got mixed over the time, as no one
wanted/played to compile with no futex.
You should look at the following files to see if you can spot when the
compile switch is not activated:
lock_alloc.h lock_ops.c lock_ops.h lock_ops_init.h locking.h
If you cannot spot a fix, then open an issue on the tracker and should
be investigated in the near future.
Cheers,
Daniel
