I don't see where it says that it should return a value. Note that the
synapsis give is exactly what works with NetBSD:

	pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

and the description says:

	In cases where default mutex attributes are
	appropriate, the macro PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER can
	be used to initialise mutexes that are statically
	allocated.

Especially note the "statically allocated".
