One more thing that came up in reviewing syscall_cp.s was actually a
bug copied from existing code in musl, which is fixed by this commit:

http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=756c8af8589265e99e454fe3adcda1d0bc5e1963

In practice the code seemed to work but it was wrong with respect to
ABI requirements.

I think the way you're saving $gp on the stack in sigsetjmp.s is also
invalid since that part of the stack will have been clobbered by the
time setjmp returns a second time. You could save it inside an unused
part of the jump buffer, but it might be better to just avoid the $gp
register and instead use temp registers and possibly some pc-relative
address computations.
