>(Assuming that long _should_ be used) Can we change this for 2.2 please?
The whole struct should probably be delcared in a machine dependent file
as something like
typedef struct {
__type_whose_alignment_requirement_i_maximal_t _jb0;
char _jb1[_NOT_QUITE_THE_FULL_SIZEOF_JMP_BUF];
} jmp_buf[1];
longs just happen to be right for a few more machine than ints.
