It does, as long as the "same way" is the correct one, namely
the one without stack unwinding.

The current code used to work, but re-arranged include files
broke the working code somewhere in the past:

include/sysemu/os-win32.h does the right thing at the
wrong place. Its correct definition of sigsetjmp is overwritten by
the definition from a Mingw-w64 system header file which
triggers stack unwinding. Stack unwinding is fatal for
QEMU's generated code.

My patch makes sure that the critical code in cpu-exec.c
gets the correct definition of sigsetjmp.

In addition, it removes code which might or might not
change the default definition of sigsetjmp (depending
on the order of include files). Now all other files beside
cpu-exec.c will use the default behaviour with stack
unwinding.
