So you want me to create an ia64-specific version of __libc_longjmp()
which will be sigaltstack-safe while everything else goes to
the old longjmp implementation, right?

The only callers of __libc_longjmp() I found are:

./linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/ptlongjmp.c:  __libc_longjmp (env, val);
./nptl/sysdeps/pthread/pt-longjmp.c:  __libc_longjmp (env, val);
./nptl/unwind.c:    __libc_longjmp ((struct __jmp_buf_tag *) buf->cancel_jmp_buf, 1);
./nptl/unwind.c:  __libc_longjmp ((struct __jmp_buf_tag *) ibuf->cancel_jmp_buf, 1);

so I think this would have the desired effect.
