PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP is supported since FreeBSD 8.0. Getting patches accepted in NSPR is too hard: very few reviewers + a lot of cruft. I'll try but let's not block on that.

"Linux with glibc and FreedBSD support adaptive mutexes that spin for a short number of tries before sleeping.  NSPR's locks did this, too, and it seems like a reasonable thing to do."
