The above doesn't look like a standard/non-critical warning to me.

Perhaps there's an update for the source you have.  I don't have that
code myself, so I don't know.  You could try contacting the author.

If you have no joy there then search the code for lines like the
following:

    static ast_mutex_t foo = AST_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

and change to:

    AST_MUTEX_DEFINE_STATIC(foo);

I.e. do as the error message suggests and use AST_MUTEX_DEFINE_STATIC
rather than AST_MUTEX_INITIALIZER.  You should also correct those other
"standard/non-critical warnings" while you're in there.  If the code
is GPLed then please submit your changes back to the author for
inclusion in the next release.
