At the end is a potentially longer term fix for the ABI
breakage that was introduced when the i386 mcontext_t
was changed/enlarged.
Someone other than I (Bruce?) should vet this. It should
solve the libc_r binary compatibility problem, but it may
not fix everything. Applications that copy ucontext_t's
around (without changing corrupting the mc_fpformat field)
will still break, but there may not be many (if any) of
those.
