You can access this using pt_regs->nip. The other general registers are
in pt_regs->gpr [].

The structure doesn't include support for floating point registers.
You can likely ignore those for now, but later it will be required.
How old is your system? What version of glibc are you using?
Your distribution support for ucontext seems quite broken: you might
want to contacts its maintainers and ask how you're supposed to access
the FP registers at the time of the signal.
