Re: Libc support for old BSD-style "sigcontext" signal handlers is broken, let's just kill it.

  | OTOH the old
  | *binaries* (using old dynamic libc, or linked with old static libc)
  | still need the kernel support.

I think the point is that the "old dynamic libc" is the current libc,
unless an old binary is so old that it linked against libc.11 or earlier
(which means way back into the last millenium sometime).

So not only is kernel support needed, libc (12) support is as well.  Once
the fabled libc version bump happens this will all change.
