You are not the only one. I recently discovered some inconsistent
data structures and function calls (sigaction, old_sigaction, different
context structures, etc.). I spent some time trying to sort it out
but didn't have enough time. I was fortunate and just bailed out using
old signal handler semantics. I was using what I believed were the
latest glibc2.1, and also the latest 2.4 kernels (which is what I
was really developing and testing). I mentioned this to some folks
closer to the glibc action, but haven't followed up. Something is
amiss here with PowerPC.

Sorry I can't provide a solution.
