Description Will Moore 2011-01-12 10:08:47 UTC 
i386 /asm/sigcontext.h line 96 has
    };
when it should be
    }some_union_name;

Gcc coughs at the lack of name for the union when configured -pedantic -pedantic-errors.  Looking at the git tree
online this is still present though I tripped over it when using uclibc 0.9.31
as a part of buildroot2010.11.

Ignore previous comment "Looking at the git tree
online this is still present ", I have not a clue how what is in git gets into i386 /asm/sigcontext.h.   I saw this in 0.9.31 and it may be fixed later versions...

Hi Will,
the sigcontext.h you are referring to is part of the kernel headers.
You should post a patch to the LKML instead of uCLibc.

Cheers,
Carmelo

This is called anonymous union, and is a normal (IIRC) gnu99 thing.
