Your program as posted doesn't compile:

junk.c: In function `mysetjmp':
junk.c:13: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer
junk.c:16: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer
... etc ...

Fixing these ...

Nope. It crashes *before* it reaches that instruction.
Learn to use the debugger to figure that out.

The 'mylongjmp' can't be reasonably implemented with inline assembly.
You'll have to use "pure" assembly if you are to have any chance
of success. Also note that setjmp/longjmp must save *all* registers.
At a minimum you must save/resore %esp in addition to %ebp.
