[gnutls-devel] [PATCH] Define _gnutls_file_mutex in gnutls_global.c instead of in verify-tofu.c

This fixes issues with linking the tools on OS X if not building
shared libraries.

Currently, if building with --disable-shared on OS X, the build
fails with:
  CCLD   gnutls-serv
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "__gnutls_file_mutex", referenced from:
      _gnutls_global_deinit in libgnutls.a(gnutls_global.o)
      _gnutls_global_init in libgnutls.a(gnutls_global.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

It seems that the linker fails to pull in verify-tofu.o to satisfy
the undefined reference to _gnutls_file_mutex.o in gnutls_global.o
unless gnutls_global.o (or any other object file in the link) also
calls functions that pulls in verify-tofu.o. Since gnutls_global.o
always is linked in, but verify-tofu.o can be left out unless someone
calls the functions in it, defining the mutex in gnutls_global.c makes
sense and simplifies the dependencies.
