Fix warning in setjmp/jmpbug.c

This patch fixes a "set but not used" warning in setjmp/jmpbug.c.  A
variable is used only to store the result of alloca.  A cast to void
is added to avoid the warning, and the variable is made volatile to
ensure the call to alloca isn't optimized away for being unused.

Tested for x86_64.

	* setjmp/jmpbug.c (test): Make foo volatile and cast it to
	void.
