You're right, of course. It's not unconditional.

I can't even begin to fathom why some system would fail to compile in
such an event: _XOPEN_SOURCE is a feature request, not a guarantee that
you'll get some level of POSIX. Do you happen to remember the system?

I'd rather always define it, except for the systems where we know it
fails, rather than just define it where it's safe.

I thought the Autoconf tests were testing merely for the function's
linkability... but yeah, maybe adding setjmp.h to the checked headers
will mean it's included for the function tests, or something. I'll play
around.
