Sorry, folks, I'm replying to myself - the problem was gone once I
excluded swapcontext.cpp from my custom build process. Looks like
coroutine cleverly fallbacks to POSIX makecontext and friends for
anything non-linux-x86. Anyway, I believe it would be great to support
linux x86_64 with a faster assembler implementation of swapcontext.
I'll play around with the code and report back(if I'm lucky :) )
