The latter is a stripped down setjmp and longjmp -used to implement stack switching in the thread library. -Also, src/libthread/$OBJTYPE.c needs to know how to set up a stack -frame for the given object type. - -If you're only interested in mk and sam, you don't need to -write any assembly to do a port.
