I'm building a metaconfig test for ucontext.h, and I am currently attempting
to compile this simple stupid program to see whether <ucontext.h> is
usable and how to grab the PC from the context:

	#include <ucontext.h>

	main()
	{
		ucontext_t *u;
		return u->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EIP];
	}

When compiling with:

	cc -o test test.c

I was getting:

	error: 'REG_EIP' undeclared (first use in this function)

When I started to look at <ucontext.h> I saw an inclusion of <sys/ucontext.h>
and I forgot about the hidden gcc magic of looking for the file into
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu.

Sorry, I should have done a

	cc -E test.c

to understand my mistake.
