Summary:                    [ARM] include/bits/posix_opt.h defines spinlocks as
available whereas they are not
Description: 
NPTL for ARM is not ready.
The default configuration for ARM recommends LINUXTHREADS_OLD.

However, include/bits/posix_opt.h contains the following :

/* We support spinlocks.  */
#define _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS    200112L

This is an inconsistency. This define should not be available.

As a result, third party applications which check this define to use
spinlocks fail to compile. undefined reference ...
