Yes, the point is that the longjmp would get in the way of
Emacs restoring the signal mask, because the longjmp would
set the signal mask in an undesirable way.

And that's what we want. On platforms that have _setjmp, Emacs
already uses _setjmp so that the corresponding _longjmp does not
restore the signal mask, which is what we want. The changes
merely adjust the behavior to do the same thing on platforms
that have sigsetjmp but not _setjmp.
