I have a patch that replaces makecontext() with sigaltstack(), i.e. 
going from nice code that does not work to hideous code that works.

I had not submitted it yet because it does not help for OpenBSD so we 
would need anyway coroutine-gthread.c, and because I would like to test 
it more thoroughly on non-Linux hosts.  If anyone can help with the 
testing, it is at git://github.com/bonzini/qemu.git branch coroutine-fix.

For 1.1 we can just use USE_STATIC_CODE_GEN_BUFFER.  It should not have 
major problems on Linux, since it is already tested for linux-user. 
That leaves out Windows of course.
