Just use PTHREAD_MUTEX_STATIC_INITIALIZER in FreeBSD.  That's
the initializer that was used in the original stdtime/localtime.c
which came out of FreeBSD!  I had to change the mutexes for Asterisk,
because at the time, Asterisk was using non-recursive mutexes.  This
mutex for FreeBSD should therefore already be recursive.
