Error while using pthreads

["Vijaya Kumar B.H." <bhvijaykumar@gmail.com>]

Hi
I am trying to compile pthread application , but getting the following 
error . I think this is a bug in GCC libraries.

gcc -lpthread -c *.c
srtp_impl.c: In function ‘srtp_init_connection’:
srtp_impl.c:8: error: expected expression before ‘{’ token
srtp_impl.c:9: error: expected expression before ‘{’ token
make: *** [all] Error 1

My function looks correct with

connEntities[connid]->rcvWinFillMutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

where
connEntities[connid]->rcvWinFillMutex is pthread_mutex_t

The GCC version and other details are as follows

hvijaykumar@bhvijay:~/programming/IPProject/SRTP$ gcc --v

gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)

Please let me know if i can help with any more details to resolve this . 
If it is already fixed please let me know

Thanks
