Yes, but for some reason, it was not include, see /usr/include/signal.h:358

# include <bits/sigstack.h>
# if defined __USE_XOPEN || defined __USE_XOPEN2K8
/* This will define `ucontext_t' and `mcontext_t'.  */
#  include <sys/ucontext.h>
# endif

So only if __USE_XOPEN or __USE_XOPEN2K8 been defined will include 
<sys/ucontext.h>

Thanks,
