After this, we should still warn for all builtins for which we have an expected 
type on record.

I added the `clang/test/Sema/builtin-setjmp.c` test to check for this 
situation. Here, `setjmp` is declared outside of the header (but it actually 
doesn't matter as I mentioned in the above comment). If you declare it without 
defining `jmp_buf` first, that is what the kernel ppl did, you will get a 
warning that states `jmp_buf` is unknown and we require it for the declaration 
of `setjmp/longjmp/...` (line 5). If you define `jmp_buf` and then declare 
`setjmp` with a conflicting type, that is not `T setjmp(jmp_buf)`, you will see 
the incompatible redeclaration warning (line 8). Does that make sense?
