Our code currently expects to find this via signal.h.

I'm running a mostly unmodified x86 Debian 2.0.
I see this in sigcontext.h:

    /* Kernel headers before 2.1.1 define a struct sigcontext_struct, but
       we need sigcontext.  */
    #define sigcontext_struct sigcontext

Maybe we could include <sigcontext.h> before <signal.h> in
i386-signal.h and then use sigconext and not sigcontext_struct?
Andrew?  i386-signal.h mentions iBCS2.  What does that have to say on
this issue?  (I don't even know what sort of document that is.  Would
it have anything to say about headers?)
