There are two fundamentally different synch.h's around:

I know of the solaris sys/synch.h (SUN's thread synchronization interface)
  http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/head/synch.h

And the C++ synch.h (C++ Data structures for synchronizing threads)
e.g. MSVC http://www.koders.com/cpp/fid674FFFCE978E62E360CD8320944D468A2AF3F2A3.aspx
or BSD http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/courses/COMP305/2006T1/Nachos/nachos_html/synch_h.html

Our sys/sem.h and pthread.h is functional similar to the one from Solaris.
Looks like a major rewrite is necessary.
