-/* _NSIG is used by the SIGRTMAX definition under <asm/signal.h>, however

- * kernel headers and is thus not part of our cleaned-up versions.
+/* Previous versions of <signal.h> didn't define 'struct sigcontext'. This
+ * has led client code to redefine the structure, sometimes in a custom and
+ * incompatible way.
  *
- * Looking at the current kernel sources, it is defined as 64 for all
- * architectures except for the 'mips' one which set it to 128.
+ * The __BIONIC_HAVE_STRUCT_SIGCONTEXT macro is defined in <sys/cdefs.h>
+ * to indicate that <signal.h> does indeed define the structure. For
+ * maximum source compatibility, client code should follow these guidelines:
+ *
+ *  - If client code is guaranteed to build against a recent NDK/platform
+ *    version, just include <signal.h> as usual, and use the
+ *    'struct sigcontext'.
+ *
+ *  - If client code wants to build against older NDK/platform versions,
+ *    and only uses 'struct sigcontext' without accessing _any_
+ *    of its fields, just always include <asm/sigcontext.h> on Android
+ *    to ensure maximum portability (i.e. to old platform/NDK releases).
+ *    As in:
+ *
+ *        #include <signal.h>
+ *        #ifdef __BIONIC__
+ *        #include <asm/sigcontext.h>
+ *        #endif
+ *
+ *  - Otherwise, if the client has a custom sigcontext definition and wants to
+ *    keep it to minimize source changes, use a macro trick as below to avoid
+ *    naming conflicts:
+ *
+ *        #include <signal.h>
+ *        #ifdef __BIONIC__
+ *        #  include <asm/sigcontext.h>
+ *        #  ifdef __BIONIC_HAVE_STRUCT_SIGCONTEXT
+ *        #    undef sigcontext
+ *        #    define sigcontext  my_custom_sigcontext
+ *        #  endif
