The README for that notes a couple of pretty major omissions: * it doesn't handle floating point registers * it doesn't do anything about the signal mask I'm pretty sure that not handling the fp regs could cause breakage for Arm at least (depending on what the compiler chooses to do in the functions that work with the ucontext functions). The signal mask stuff might be OK for us because of the carefully limited use we make of the ucontext functions, but it would be a bit of a pain to have to analyse that code for both sets of semantics. thanks -- PMM
