or modify /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h by hand, removing the
offending "__user". Most of the patch you're pointing to is actually
inside the kernel's headers (I still use 2.6.23).

I still see this problem today mostly because I use gcc-3.4.6: what
version of gcc are you using ?

I could be wrong, I have not tried yet a more recent compiler :)
