According to the man page (which, I believe, conforms to the POSIX standard), 
the third argument in a signal handler should be a pointer to a ucontext 
structure (assuming the SA_SIGINFO flag was passed to sigaction). However, under 
Sparc64, the kernel passes a pointer to a sigcontext structure (see line 472 in 
arch/sparc64/kernel/signal.c). This incompatibility should be either fixed or 
documented.
