Hmm, interesting. The gcc manual is quite negative about these though:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nonlocal-Gotos.html

Also it's not clear that these are compatible with <setjmp.h>'s version
of jmp_buf.

What I'm wondering about, looking at that bit of code, is whether the
entire premise is correct for MinGW-64. Maybe it does provide real
sigsetjmp and we shouldn't be overriding those names?

(None of this quite explains why a problem suddenly materialized
with 3174d69fb9, though. That did not touch anything near our
setjmp/longjmp code AFAICS.)
