Well, you can do:

	AC_CHECK_FUNCS([getcontext], [has_getcontext=yes])
	AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setcontext], [has_setcontext=yes])

if test x${has_getcontext} != xyes -o x${has_setcontext} != xyes; then
	CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DNO_GETCONTEXT"
	CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -DNO_GETCONTEXT"
fi

You need two tests because AC_CHECK_FUNCS() runs the action-if-found if
at least one of the functions are found.

Thanks,

Thomas
