I don't like this.  For gdb, we're still operating in freebsd-4 mode.  I think we should start our own ABI.  I am a little bit concerned about the binary compatibility though.  I guess all programs using sigcontext will have a problem, right?  We should at least bump an ELF ABI version for this, so gdb can actually operate on older and newer binaries.
