That's bad news, since all Shmem/Interprocess POSIX synchronization is based on that. In windows I try to emulate it with spins and waits but that's really a pain because you don't get mutex benefits like priority inversion.
I don't know the details of what you're trying to do, but on Windows, native synchronization objects can be shared between processes if you name them --- if any process then requests the object with the same name, they get the same mutex/semaphore/event.
