the glibc version does also the window flush. I noticed the issue by 
testing compiler builtins which on some systems result in a trap, for 
example:

     volatile int64_t n;
     volatile int64_t d;

     n = INT64_C( 0 );
     d = INT64_C( 0 );
     do_longjmp = true;

     if ( setjmp( exception_return_context ) == 0 ) {
       n = n % d;
     }

In RTEMS, we use a processor-specific stack to handle synchronous 
exceptions. If you want to jump back to the thread from the exception 
handler, then you have to change back to the original thread stack. This 
works only if you flush the windows in the setjmp().
