This needs to be documented in the code.  It seems the code always
defines it as 0, so it's not clear to me why it makes sense to define it
at all (twice even).

This should be defined differently when pthread_mutex_cond_lock.c
includes the file; I just noticed that it doesn't do that.

Is the patch OK besides that (ie, so after fixing that oversight and
adding a suitable comment to the definition of
LLL_ROBUST_MUTEX_LOCK_MODIFIER?).

Do we already have a test case which detects the bug you introduced?

Would you please post a consolidated patch rebased to current master?

Thanks,
Florian
