I've applied the fix provided by Corinna and built a test version on top
of the current gcc-13.4 snapshot.  Please test.

The bug was already reported upstream a long time ago as FreeBSD also
has an implementation where the mutex can not be destroyed trivially:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71684

POSIX does not make such a guarantee, but there also is no feature test
macro, so it must eventually become a platform specific configuration.
