+We are not going to fix this issue, mainly because we don't have
+access to systems as broken, which would be required for testing. The
+thing you can try is to define in the exceptions-ppc.c file a struct
+with the correct ucontext layout (basically not what you have on your
+broken system, but one matching the correct definition; this is
+because I doubt your system managed to break also the kernel ABI and
+not just the userspace ABI). Then change the uses of struct ucontext
+to uses of struct correct_ucontext and if you also don't have a broken
+kernel ABI it may work. Otherwise just do the trivial changes to copy
+in an out the registers from the broken ucontext struct instead of
+from the correct one as it is done in the code: we can't do this for
+you since we can't even compile test such a change given that no one
+has access to such a broken system but you.
