Do you mean by this that it would be unwise to do something like

"variable that needs to be = sp" = (jmp_buf) jb[0]
"variable that needs to be = pc" = (jmp_buf) jb[1]


this is how other similar ports of this package (GNU portable threads) have 
been made, for example for win32

"variant 4", "variant 5" and "variant X" in the file pth_mctx.c are examples 
of this strategy.*
