No, the (*m) is wrong. It should be (*lock).
You have started your port from the core distribution of Postgres,
which has only part of the linux or FreeBSD specific changes in
it (eg. those, that Paul Aoki came around to include).
I recommend you to get the FreeBSD (or linux) patches, and apply
them, before you continue. It will save you lots of doubled work.
