[LLVMdev] Semantics of __builtin_setjmp/__builtin_longjmp

I think they're probably not supposed to be compatible with libc, but
should be with GCC.

Libc gets to choose its implementation in setjmp.h. It might implement
them completely separately (which would still work however we
implement the __builtins), or it might make use of the __builtins (in
which case we should certainly make sure they're compatible).

> If not with libc, why with GCC?

Because the GCC builtins are an ABI issue controlled by the compiler:
we need to be compatible to mix object files on the platform.

Cheers.
