Ok, actually the segfault was for a more complicated function, but the
simplified example still gives the wrong answer. i.e scp should point to a
struct sigcontext and scp->signal should be 10 in the sample program.

Hi,

Here is what I get from running it on my system (ppc linux with 2.2.15
kernel with some mods and glibc-2.1.3).

But no segfault.

[kbhend@localhost ~]$ gcc -O2 -ojunk junk.c
[kbhend@localhost ~]$ ./junk
SIGUSR1 = 10
scp = 7fffe9a4
scp->signal = 0
[kbhend@localhost ~]$
