The latest patch to the 'threads' module makes use of​:
  dJMPENV
  JMPENV_PUSH
  JMPENV_POP

Compiling under ActivePerl (WIN32) produces the following error​:

  gcc -o blib\arch\auto\threads\threads.dll -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base
-mdll threads.o -Wl,--image-base,0x150c0000 C​:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl58.lib
-lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32
-lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 -luuid -lws2_32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion
-lodbc32 -lodbccp32 -lmsvcrt dll.exp
threads.o(.text+0x5dc)​:threads.c​: undefined reference to
`PerlProc_setjmp'
threads.o(.text+0x757)​:threads.c​: undefined reference to
`PerlProc_setjmp'

Jan Dubois states that this is caused by 'setjmp' being defined to
'PerlProc_setjmp' in XSUB.h

I attempted to use '#define NO_XSLOCKS', but this resulted in
intermittent hangs during 'make test'.

XSUB.h needs to be corrected so that 'setjmp' remains defined to the
proper value under WIN32.

Reviewing older tickets this morning, I came across this one.

Jerry, Jan​:

Were you ever able to resolve this problem?

Thank you very much.

From @Hugmeir

This came up again on 2010:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl5.porters/88252

I also just got it on a cpantesters report, which is what made me find
this bug:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/1c38ed62-6c43-1014-8e25-a8ec223f278b

So it looks like this is still an issue. I haven't tried the suggested
workaround yet, but neither of the two affected modules (threads and
Scope::Escape) use it, so perhaps something else has superseded it.
