Summary:  compile failure with ancient glibc

Original Submission:  pnet compilation fails with ancient glibc versions such 
as e.g. 2.1.2 (in Slackware 8.0).

The problem comes from the registers being defined in that old glibc's 
sys/ucontext.h as EAX etc instead of REG_EAX etc.

Since the old glibc should be upgraded anyway for independant (security) 
resons, maybe there's no point in actually supporting ancient glibc's.  However 
if we choose not to support ancient glibc's, we should at least (in configure) 
check in the case that there is a sys/ucontext.h file that it defines REG_EAX.
