Porting Sun's XView to Cygwin: ucontext.h/sigcontext workaround?

Hi list. I'm working on porting Sun Microsystems's antiquated XView libraries to Cygwin. The only major hangup I've run into is the absence of the signal context functionality (ucontext.h and sigcontext). I've read through the archives of this distribution, and I know this has been discussed at

1.5.18 readv segmentation fault
