Comment might be: "GNU/Hurd doesn't fully support {get,set,make,swap}context functions. Disabling their usage till support is implemented. More info at http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/glibc/#getcontext"
Feel free to rephrase as you prefer.

It's fine what you did in r43077.

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p299 (2013-08-29) [i386-gnu]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


This bug can be reproduced in Ruby 1.8 as well.

Attached patch disables *context use on hurd.
Hurd implementation is not working yet and it's hard estimating whenever it will be.

Thanks.
