[dev] [wmii] Build problems with the tips of wmii and libixp

I'm trying to build the latest tip of wmii (97d57038e60a) and libixp
(b2b7cb840090). I'm facing the following issues which end up in a
similar manner:

* wmii:

CC lib/libstuff/util/_die.o
In file included from /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28,
                 from /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h:27,
                 from /usr/include/signal.h:359,
                 from lib/libstuff/util/_die.c:4:
/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:96: error: declaration does not declare anything
make[2]: *** [util/_die.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [dall] Error 2
make: *** [dall] Error 2

* libixp:

CC lib/libixp/socket.o
In file included from /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28,
                 from /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h:27,
                 from /usr/include/signal.h:359,
                 from lib/libixp/socket.c:8:
/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:96: error: declaration does not declare anything
make[2]: *** [socket.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [dall] Error 2
make: *** [dall] Error 2

I can build wmii's 3.9-1 tag without problems, as well as rev
d8b0d0508291 of libixp. I'm on Linux with gcc 4.3.4. What could be
happening?

On the other hand I see that the wmii repository now has 2 heads. If
the goal is to have a 3.9 maintenance branch and another one for the
main development, maybe it would be worth it to use named branches?
Unless it's a short life head.

Thanks,

Juan Pablo
