guard against compilers failing to handle setjmp specially by default
since 4.1, gcc has had the __returns_twice__ attribute and has required functions which return twice to carry it; however it's always applied it automatically to known setjmp-like function names. clang however does not do this reliably, at least not with -ffreestanding and possibly under other conditions, resulting in silent emission of wrong code. since the symbol name setjmp is in no way special (setjmp is specified as a macro that could expand to use any implementation-specific symbol name or names), a compiler is justified not to do anything special without further hints, and it's reasonable to do what we can to provide such hints. gcc 4.0.x and earlier do not recognize the attribute, so make use conditional on __GNUC__ macros. clang and other gcc-like compilers report (and have always reported) a later "GNUC" version so the preprocessor conditional should function as desired for them as too. undefine the internal macro after use so that nothing abuses it as a public feature.
