The problem is that arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/registers.c
messes around inside a jmp_buf, and in glibc 2.4 the glibc
maintainers have helpfully removed the definitions that
let you poke around in there (they were only there for the
sake of one macro, _JMPBUF_UNWINDS, which is no longer
user-visible.)

This vile patch lets me compile but is almost certainly not good enough:
however, I don't know what *is* good enough: now that glibc is blocking
us from the layout of the jmp_buf, what's to stop them from changing it?
(Well, other than that it would break the ABI ;) )

A temporary hack to make it compile is

but that's hardly acceptable in the long run.
