As I understand it, read_write_mutex is broken and the
threads library is orphaned.

The CVS checkin comment for these files says: "Remove the broken 
read_write_mutex". 

Douglas Gregor wrote on the mailing list (on Wed, 09 Nov 2005, in the 1.33.1 
beta description):
"* Thread library: read_write_mutex has been removed due to problems
      with deadlocks."
