ia64: make jmp_buf declaration compiler-independent

The patch below changes the __jmp_buf declaration to be
compiler-independent by taking advantage of the fact that on ia64
platforms "long double" (pretty much) universally gives a 128-bit
aligned type (it doesn't matter whether it's a float80 or a float128,
as would be the case with the HP compiler).  The itanium software
conventions manual specifies a type of __float80, but GCC doesn't
support that.

(The very first version of gcc/ia64 (egcs, actually) didn't handle
"long double" correctly, but I seriously doubt anyone is still using
such an old compiler; if they do: high time to upgrade.)

I reran "make check" after the change and there were no new regressions.
