Well my interpretation of the error message could be wrong but hopefully you can figure this out.
adding '#include <sys/ucontext.h>' should fix that
betelgeuse@pena /usr/include/bits $ file sigcontext.h sigcontext.h: empty Something seems to be wrong with my glibc install. I will try reinstalling glibc and see what happens.
re-emerging glibc solved this problem. Hopefully this was just a local problem and not caused by a bug in the glibc ebuild.
