Perhaps it would be acceptable to define __PTHREAD_MUTEX_HAVE_ELISION
unconditionally in pthread.h and then redefine it in x86_64 and s390
like so:


Both approaches ensure that the macro is always defined and hence look
typo-proof to me.

I would prefer this approach instead of create/install another header.

Why?  It leaves a place for typo bugs to sneak in on new architectures.

I see a plus header another burden for arch ports to be aware of. GLIBC is already
quite complex of required arch depends files and subly non-arch files that arch
maintainer also need to be aware one. I personally not found of add another one.

I fail to see how a subtle and typo-prone requirement on some other
existing arch-specific header is better than a typo-proof clear requirement
on a new arch-specific header.

It is a trade-off in my view, but I understand the direction of the -Wundef work
for the typo-proof. I will check on the elision-especific header.
