Exactly. It's DebugMutex and I'd say it's not worth fixing for cases
when pthread_t doesn't fit in ulint. DebugMutex is completely disabled
in non-debug builds anyway.

If we'll ever have a bug that would need DebugMutex to analyze and
cannot be repeated on a platform where pthread_t fits in ulint... in
that case it might make sense to get back to this. Until then I'd just
wouldn't compile DebugMutex where it doesn't work.
