Bug description

I can not compile 'asmrun/signals_asm.c' on NetBSD/i386 from version 4.02.

Direct cause is that is not in the NetBSD definition of sigcontext by configure target has been added that SYS_bsd_elf.
Therefore, it was changed to use the ucontext in the POSIX standard instead of sigcontext.

So, I'll send to bug report and fix patch.

Steps to reproduce

% gmake [~/src/ocaml/ocaml-4.02.1_fix/asmrun]
gcc -I../byterun -DCAML_NAME_SPACE -DNATIVE_CODE -DTARGET_i386 -DSYS_bsd_elf -O -Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -c -o signals_asm.o signals_asm.c
