: Currently, it should not disturb the o32 ABI, since it is inside an i=
fdef.
: In n32/n64 the jmpbuf entries are 64bit and we will use one more
: register for GP.

Good point.  I missed that when I was looking at it.  My bad.a

: Slightly off-topic,  _JBLEN is 95 for mips, I cannot see a reason for=

: this value, any hints?

Hmmm.  31 normal registers (we don't save $0 :).  32 floating point
registers that are double size.  31 + 2 * 32 =3D=3D 95.  Maybe that's
why...

There's at least one Mips that has CP1 registers for its specialized
hardware.  If we ever are going to support saving/restoring that state
along with the core and FP registers, we will need to expand this...
