If the structure is different, wouldn't it be more portable to use
makecontext on SysV? I read a paper about GNU Pth where the different
context switching methods are explained and it preferred makecontext
if available (that's why I didn't find hints about a different
layout, I checked sizeof(jmp_buf) and in 64bit mode it was as
expected twice as big as in 32bit mode).

Thanks!
