I guess that using the same values is hackily guaranteed to work for binary 
compatibility, right?

This sort of things is what autoconf is for. However we shouldn't use that, 
and probably not its ideas... in the past we've used grep into headers (for 
hostfs, a stat field had been renamed).

Btw, while about setjmp/longjmp: they save only a few registers, not all ones 
(and obviously not EAX and the return value); in fact GCC docs says that 
local variables should be marked as volatile or risk being destroyed.

What about this? Inserting an asm volatile clobbering all unsaved registers 
(what I thought for long time)? Or taking the libc implementation and suiting 
it for our use, solving the above problem?

We do such things for context switch in the traced process, doing it for us 
should be simpler (but it's in assembler).
