Note that C9x requires longjmp() to leave the floating point
environment alone, so the full sigcontext must not be restored.
This doesn't prevent using sigreturn() to implement longjmp(),
but it guarantees that setjmp()/longjmp() can't be (ab)used to
implement full context switching.
Making jmp_buf the same as struct sigcontext would be a bit wasteful.
