We need start with a working assumption that GDB is being run on POSIX compliant systems and that implies a working sigsetjmp / siglongjmp. Only when someone comes forward with a problematic system should we worry about it (and possibly not even then).
Sorry, but I don't think fully POSIX compliant systems do actually
exist.  We should aim to have a working GDB on as many systems that
are in somewhat wide use as possible.  At the very minimum we should
support the latest official release of the GNU systems and other major
Free OS'es out there.

For such systems lets at least assume that they more or less work, at least until our testsuite reveals evidence to the contrary.
