yes, after your change, of course. The code in stmt_starts_bb_p
uses ECF_RETURNS_TWICE, so ...

True.

... that's intended as well I think.

We've abstracted that bit into GF_CALL_CTRL_ALTERING which we
compute during CFG build and only ever clear afterwards (so an
indirect call to setjmp via a type not having returns_twice will not
end up ending a BB and will not have abnormal edges associated).
So I don't think anything besides fixing CFG build is necessary.
Well - the whole RTL transition business of course.
