This doesn't look exactly the same. In your
log below you say:

 ret = pthread_mutexattr_init(&ma); in line 570
 I got errorno 16 --> device busy.

But the bug report is about needing the value
passed to pthread_mutex_init() needing to be
zero, not the value passed to pthread_mutexattr_init().

Can you just try adding '= {0}' to all the
places where we declare:

pthread_mutexattr_t ma

(i.e. make it say)

pthread_mutexattr_t ma = {0};

and see if it makes your problem go away ?
