How new is it? The whole point was that we'd not have to worry and
wait for gcc features..

glibc doesn't use it, which worries me a bit. Has it ever gotten any
use/testing?

But yes, the compiler could do better. If we can rely on it, and it
doesn't do stupid things (like have signal state etc crap - glibc
seems to just alias "setjmp" to "sigsetjmp" with a "didn't save
signals" flag)
