Which version of glib are you using? My copy of gthread.h contains

typedef union  _GMutex          GMutex;
typedef struct _GRecMutex       GRecMutex;

union _GMutex
{
  /*< private >*/
  gpointer p;
  guint i[2];
};

struct _GRecMutex
{
  /*< private >*/
  gpointer p;
  guint i[2];
};

'git blame glib/gthread.h' shows that these lines were added or last 
modified in the git repository 2011-10-02 or earlier.
