Nope, we still go ucontext -> gthread (and for platforms which don't
support ucontext we'll go straight to gthread).

I think we should probably be ucontext -> sigaltstack. The configure
code for this is a bit dodgy anyway (for instance there are paths
through it that can end up not setting coroutine_backend at all).
I'll submit a patch to tidy it up and not have gthread as our fallback.
