The fields were named differently in old versions of glibc, but the whole
layout didn't change in any way.

-  unsigned long int sc_rsvd[16];/* reserved for future use */
+  unsigned long int sc_rbs_base;/* NULL or new base of sighandler's rbs */
+  unsigned long int sc_loadrs;	/* see description above */
+  unsigned long int sc_ar25;	/* cmp8xchg16 uses this */
+  unsigned long int sc_ar26;	/* rsvd for scratch use */
+  unsigned long int sc_rsvd[12];/* reserved for future use */

The right fix is not to use a 2 years old glibc.
