Hmm, I guess if that's what it takes.

For reference, how many bytes is the underlying actual mutex?

No, I think it should be increased for all systems.  I think it'll be
too hard to keep the conditionals right going forward otherwise.  (The
same size needs to be maintained for binary compatibility.)

PS. Matters like this relating only to the development code can be
raised on the guile-devel list.
