should i have all man pages referenced by *other* man pages?

  not sure if this question is appropriate for this list, but i'm
reading the man pages for threads, and in "man 7 pthreads", toward the
bottom, there are references to other man page entries:

  "... pthread_mutex_lock(3), pthread_mutex_unlock(3) ..."

  first, there are no such man pages:

$ man 3 pthread_mutex_lock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock in section 3
$ man 3 pthread_mutex_unlock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_unlock in section 3
$

  also, that list under "SEE ALSO" doesn't mention the closely-related
routine pthread_mutex_trylock().

  is this considered a bug?  something worth reporting somewhere?
