Problem: isn't longjmp_unwind intended for use by C programs as well. In which
case the only option really is (modulo possibly typos):


	#define longjmp_unwind __cxx_abi_longjmp_unwind
	#ifdef __cplusplus
	extern "C" {
	#endif
	void longjmp_unwind (jmp_buf, int);
	#ifdef __cplusplus
	extern "C" {
	#endif

cpp rulez.
