The article is sure interesting .... but at a few places ....
The author points out "C functions using global or "static" variables
are surely not reentrant .... " but in my humble opinion there can be
reentrant functions which may modify static or global variables for
many purposes.  "Every access to shared data must be guarded with a
mutex acquisition .. " I disagree to this too .. operation like
unconditional assignment etc are atomic enough to be done without a
mutex lock ... I feel use of "Every" " Always" etc need a relook
