Yes this is a conundrum. These changes are changing the ABI so must be 
versioned but 2.3.3 is already shipped in a distro.

[sjmunroe@spokane3 sjmunroe]$ uname -a
Linux spokane3 2.4.21-3.EL #1 SMP Fri Sep 19 13:58:23 EDT 2003 ppc64 ppc64 
ppc64 GNU/Linux
[sjmunroe@spokane3 sjmunroe]$  readelf -a /lib/libc.so.6 | grep getcontext
  1652: 00046e4c     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 getcontext@GLIBC_2.1
  2044: 00046ce4   360 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 getcontext@@GLIBC_2.3.3
  5130: 00046ce4   360 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   10 __getcontext
  5742: 00046e4c     8 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   10 __getcontext_stub
  7860: 00046e4c     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 getcontext@GLIBC_2.1
  8252: 00046ce4   360 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 getcontext@@GLIBC_2.3.3

So these changes must be against 2.3.4

It does not compile on PPC nor PPC64:

version GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined for libc
