As many codepaths may not even need access to the attributes, I

So, what is productive then? Pessimizing one (not exactly minor) platform?
Lazy on-demand initialization as needed, perhaps? The on-demand
initialization mechanism may become no-op on some platforms that can
do static initialization.
This is the pessimization that I am talking about. I would not mind at
all if it were only for the attribute subsystem, but the proposed patch
would pessimize *all* uses of pthread_mutex_lock.
