There's a gas option -Wa,-mimplicit-it=always that will make these
kind of changes unnecessary. I think it's preferable to just have
musl's configure always add that option when targeting arm if it's
accepted by the toolchain. Otherwise new code might get added without
checking that it builds as thumb.

My leaning is to just always use the version that works on thumb, as I
don't think the performance difference will be measurable. I think you
did change the order of the storage in jmp_buf; I'm okay with that but
we might want to see if anyone objects because of wacky stuff
expecting a particular order. (Note: I don't think the order should be
treated as public but we probably want to know what if anything is
poking at it so we know if there are third-party things that need
fixing.)

Clone will also need a fix something like what I did for sh in commit
234c58467c3709bafdd3ffa6ac73655e1dfd9ddb to be compatible with fdpic,
but that's separate from thumb support.

This looks like it's against a really old version of musl. The modern
build system with out-of-tree support already accepts .S files.

I don't think this actually works; the arithmetic on pc does different
things in thumb mode. This file just needs to be scrapped and
redesigned since it's not going to be compatible with fdpic anyway (it
relies on PC-relative accesses to global data).

I think I had a simpler version of this tucked away somewhere; I'll
check and see.
Thanks for working on this and reviving interest in the topic.
