SunOS 5.6: all available and working
HPUX 11: all available and working
OSF1 v4.0: all available and working

Linux: has include files but no implementation (at least Mandrake 7.2)
FreeBSD: has a buggy declaration of ucontext_t in ucontext.h and no
associated getcontext/setcontext function, nor implementation it would
seem.

It would look like our commercial Unix friends have a headstart on free
Unices on that one...
