the powerpc sys/ucontext.h has a struct member named '__unused' in the 64bit case

file sets up a define '__unused' for using __attribute__((__unused__)) ... the two quickly conflict and cause a build failure:

if /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -DMAGIC='"/usr/share/misc/file/magic"'   -O2 -pipe -D_GNU_SOURCE -MT compress.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/compress.Tpo" -c -o compress.lo compress.c; \
        then mv -f ".deps/compress.Tpo" ".deps/compress.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/compress.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
