Ah yes, I missed your post there and just remembered the conclusion as 
"Use 10.5 as platform". :/

My point was, it's just the context manipulation functions 
(get/set/make/swap) in ucontext.h which are deprecated.
The ucontext struct and its fields, defined in sys/ucontext.h (and used 
in histogramSIGPROFhandler), is not.

Thus I fail to see why one would have to find an entirely new way to do 
this on OSX (or if one even exists), instead of changing the include.

Cheers,
Henry
