The changes to common.h and sthreads.c with respect to new_context and
makecontext are reasonable. However, there are two problems:
1. Line 92 of sthreads.c,
(char *)ctx->ctx.uc_stack.ss_sp+=STACK_SIZE-8;
causes a compiler warning: "a cast does not yield an lvalue."
2. The Solaris <9 SPARC peculiarity concerning the third argument of
makecontext might be taken into account.
Both would be fixed by the following changes.
***Caveat: I do not know how the third argument of makecontext behaves
in Solaris x86 for versions <9 vs. >=9. Have no machine to test this.
