Robust Mutex Problem

Hello Folks,
    This is my first post to the list. I have been investigating porting
software to the Linaro system (on OMAP 4) and I came across this issue.
Basically, the kernel appears to report that it does not provide Robust
Mutex support? This would seem to be some kind of kernel build/configuration
issue?

    The reason I'm asking is that our software system checks for (and uses)
robust mutex features and I had originally built everything on the Ubuntu
10.10 release for Pandaboard only to discover this problem. I tried an 11.04
alpha 3 install on my Pandaboard and robust mutex appeared to work, so I
transferred all our work to that... But now again (after a few updates on
that system) robust mutex seems to be again turned off somewhere.

    Any suggestions on how to resolve? Should one expect robust mutex
support?

-Sincerely,
Todd Pack
