the error leaves me wondering. The rest of the libc seems to be ok, only
libc-setjmp does not compile? I can only think of two possible reasons
for the problem:

Maybe your build directory has some stale dependency files, which are no
longer valid after an update of the Genode source tree? Could you try to
remove the build directory for the library via

  rm -r <your-build-dir>/var/libcache/libc-setjmp

Try then to build a target that uses the libc (including libc-setjmp):

  make test/ldso

Or, alternatively, you can try to clean the whole build directory
instead of only removing the single library via

  make cleanall

The second possible cause may be an incomplete 'make prepare' of the
libc. Could you re-try this step again?

  cd <genode-dir>/libports
  make clean prepare PKG=libc

By specifying both "clean" and "prepare", the old version of the libc
will be removed before preparing the libc again.

If all that does not help, you may try starting with a fresh build
directory. If the build works with a fresh one, I'd be interested in the
difference between the old and the new build directories.

  diff -ru <broken-build-dir> <working-build-dir>

This information would help us to find out what went wrong.

Cheers
Norman
