State-Changed-Why:
This is written against libc_r's implementation of pthread_kill;
libpthread does provide full signal handler arguments to pthread_kill.
Still it iw worth noting that trying to do anything sane with
a context from a pthread_kill() is probably not what you want
especially for scope process threads. pthread_kill() is a
simulated interrupt and the threads interrupted context is generated
by the threads library -- it is not like a real signal interrupted
the thread while it was running.
