Unfortunately, PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP is an enum, not a macro, so #ifdef won't work to detect it.
The attached patch should work. Please report back; I won't merge it unless we know it actually helps.
Not sure you're aware, but there's RHEL5 (and thus Centos5 I believe) versions where glibc announces robust mutexes but the kernel is buggy: They are just not robust. tdb has a runtime check for this. Are you interested?
Sure, post a link to more info.
I found this since you mentioned it.

But it only affects a mutex that was locked in a process that subsequently forks a child. The LMDB docs already say explicitly that a process must not fork with an open LMDB environment so this particular issue doesn't affect us.
