   We use unnamed semaphore (if available) for the global lock.  The
   specific semaphore is only valid for those threads in a process,
   and it is no use by other processes.  Thus, PSHARED argument for
   sem_init is naturally 0.

   However, there are daemon-like applications which use fork after
   npth's initialization by npth_init.  In this case, a child process
   uses the semaphore which was created by its parent process, while
   parent does nothing with the semaphore.  In some system (e.g. AIX),
   access by child process to non-shared unnamed semaphore is
   prohibited.  For such a system, HAVE_FORK_UNSAFE_SEMAPHORE should
   be defined, so that unnamed semaphore will be created with the
   option PSHARED=1.  The purpose of the setting of PSHARED=1 is only
   for allowing the access of the lock by child process.  For NPTH, it
   does not mean any other interactions between processes.
