Understood, however inspecting other setjump.s implementations for
other cpu's in newlib, I notice they also don't seem to save globals,
Nor seem to be dependant on particular cpu versions, wonder if r3-r17
should never have been saved by setjump?

(all seem most similar to the newly proposed patched setjump,
 although recognize that there may be some functionality missing
 in avr.h/c which correct behavior is dependant on, but it's not
 clear that this is the case?)
