There are two versions, one using the makecontext/setcontext/swapcontext functions from ucontext.h, and one falling back to implementing coroutines as separate glib threads. configure chooses the former if the platform has a makecontext(). Unfortunately ARM eglibc provides a makecontext() which always fails ENOSYS, which means the configure check passes but when qemu starts it abort()s. The best fix for this is probably going to involve making the coroutine implementation runtime-selectable.
