It's true that this would (currently) slow down uthreads. However, I
suspect that uthreads may want to do its own signal-mask handling
anyway (even though it currently doesn't). On the other hand, if we
made jmp_buf and struct sigcontext compatible, it could clean up the
thread scheduler's inner workings.
