it seemed inconslusive.

Those functions simply store (setjmp) and restore (longjmp) register values
(and setjmp also returns the value passed to longjmp if it had been reached
by a longjmp). Nothing more, nothing less. So while the stack register
while be changed, the contents on the stack will not.
