Argh.  Oh well, we should only do the namespace cleanup, then.  __BSD__
symbols etc.

BTW, I think the lock file should contain a field indicating the sync
primitive type, so different compilations of MDB won't use different
sync primitives.  Which maybe also means we might as well pick the
primitive at runtime (try PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED first, then sem_open).
