Compiling a testdir with Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 (SunPRO C) on Linux,
I get this compilation error:

make[4]: *** [Makefile:25912: test-pthread-c++.o] Error 2
The cause is that the generated pthread.h overrides pthread_spinlock_t,
although it shouldn't: On glibc, the pthread spinlock functions exist and
work fine.
This patch fixes it.
2024-03-28 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>
pthread-h: Fix override of pthread_spinlock_t with non-GNU compilers.
* m4/pthread-spin.m4 (gl_PTHREAD_SPIN): Define through AC_DEFUN_ONCE.
Require gl_PTHREAD_H_DEFAULTS, not gl_PTHREAD_H.
* m4/pthread_h.m4 (gl_PTHREAD_H): Invoke gl_PTHREAD_SPIN.
* lib/pthread.in.h (pthread_spinlock_t,
GNULIB_defined_pthread_spin_types): Don't define if
HAVE_PTHREAD_SPIN_INIT && !REPLACE_PTHREAD_SPIN_INIT.
* modules/pthread-h (Files): Add m4/pthread-spin.m4.
