Looking more closely at `gnutls_global_set_mutex`, the reinitialization logic seems to be added to support the implicit initialization of the library (i.e., in that case there is no way to call `gnutls_global_set_mutex` before "any other gnutls function"). The actual effect of this reinitialization, as far as I understand, is to re-init (dynamic) mutexes created at `gnutls_global_init`; which are:
- `_gnutls_file_mutex`
- `_gnutls_pkcs11_mutex`
I wonder if those could be turned into a static mutex, then we wouldn't need library reinitialization.
