The solution will be to change the mutex reference into a pointer (which
will not need to be mutable). A bug entry has been opened against this
issue, but it looks like a patch hasn't been installed at this time. This is
of course an issue with the very latest gcc.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/736273

In the future it will be preferable to use the improved epicsMutex class
which allows reference counting of the mutex instance.

The issue here may be that size_t is only in the std namespace, and so we
need to add "using std :: size_t" or change the declarations to use "std ::
size_t"

In recent codes I prefer including <cstddef> and importing from namespace
std as needed. However, it may be that that header already includes a
standard library header that defines "std :: size_t", and so including
<cstddef> might be superfluous.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
