All symbols starting with a underscore ("_") are reserved for internal
use of the C library by the ISO C standard. __setjmp might be defined
in libc5 but that's not relevant here. The bug is that silo uses a
_reserved_ identifier!
Either use setjmp completly from the C library or don't use the
library at all.
If you need all the str* function, just get them from glibc and
include them in silo. The sources are under the LGPL.
