You do know what the _NP means, don't you? It stands for NON
PORTABLE. A conforming POSIX implementation is not required to
provide it. And glibc does not. Indeed, the standard does not seem to
even refer to this macro, at first reading: it is not in the indices,
so this is definitely a very implementation dependent macro. (If you
disagree, please quote chapter and verse from the standard).
Indeed, you should feel lucky that even the non standard
PTHREAD_ERRORCHECK_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP is provided by the
implementation, even though not present in ISO/IEC 9945-1

Wanted to make an ass of yourself in public, eh?
