Wish I could tell you.  I had same thing happen on Solaris
several years ago.  And it had all the locking techniques 
configure was supposed to be testing for.

I went into the config/config.h file and found the #define
for the style locking I wanted it to use and changed it from
no to yes (or whatever boolean it was using).

For me, in later builds it did not happen.
