eglibc on ARM -- wvdial problem

Greetings!

There seems to be a problem with the ARM implementation of eglibc,
more specifically with the getcontext and setcontext methods.
This prevents, among other things, from Rasberry Pi owners from
using WVDIAL on their ARM device, a tragic circumstance since
the low power, small size, and $25 price tag make it an ideal
controller of cellular network.   Can stubs be put in for these
methods, or is something critical here?  Why is ARM different?
