Well, if our signal delivery conformed to POSIX 1003.1b (not yet)
then you would normally find that address as follows:

int segv_catch(signum, si, ctx)
	int signum;
	struct siginfo *si;
	void *ctx;
{
	void *va;

	va = si->si_value.sival_ptr;
	printf("segv touching address 0x%lx\n", va);
	exit(1);
}

P.S. Typical struct definitions would be: (in sys/signal.h)

union sigval {
	int	sival_int;	/* integer value */
	void	*sival_ptr;	/* pointer value */
};

struct siginfo {
	int	si_signo;		/* same as handler arg one */
	int 	si_code;		/* like old handler 2nd arg */
	union sigval	si_value;	/* data relevant to the signal */
};
