Thanks for fixing this properly, not really sure why I did not think of
this in the first place. I guess my thought was the warning makes it
seem like clang is going to ignore the kernel's implementation of
setjmp/longjmp but I can't truly remember.

Agreed.

The tags should be:

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.14+
Fixes: c9029ef9c957 ("powerpc: Avoid clang warnings around setjmp and longjmp")

that way it explicitly gets picked up for stable, rather than Sasha's
AUTOSEL process, which could miss it.

With the xmon/Makefile -ffreestanding removed and the tags updated,
consider this:
