Pedantically, jmp_buf should be an array type. But, this will probably work fine, and it certainly is better than what we had before. You could do typedef long jmp_buf[JMP_BUF_LEN]; perhaps?

If it works then it looks like a much better fix than using -ffreestanding. Please submit a patch with a change log etc. and I'd be happy to merge it. cheers
