The jmpbuf implementation is and has always been an implementation
detail which is not available to application.  The structure or the
constants to access it were only exposed because of historic accidents.
 In the older days we didn't hide the details.

But your $SUBJECT is of course wrong and deliberately confrontational.
Nobody removed setjmp and longjmp.  The interfaces are all there.  You
just cannot use them in an incorrect way anymore.

Fix your application.
