by Matthias Drochner to i386 and alpha:
-check for a NULL uc_link before calling setcontext(2); do a real exit(3)
instead with exit handlers and all that
-If setcontext(2) returns (which it shouldn't), do an _exit(-1) rather
than relying on a sensible return value to use as exit code. Makes
it less likely that an ucontext corruption goes unnoticed.
