[patch] userspace mcontext_t doesn't match what kernel returns

[Ryan Murray <rmurray at debian dot org>]

Hi,

The definition of mcontext_t in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/ucontext.h
does not match what the kernel copies to userspace (struct sigcontext).
alpha, ia64, and hppa have fixed this by typedefing one to the other in
sys/ucontext.h  The following patch accomplishes the same thing for mips.
