coro paper author hadn't tested this configuration.

basically, the intent is that one can continue an arbitrary number
of coroutines, without overflowing the stack.  Maybe there's an alternate
pattern that we could construct that would allow this;  modulo the caller-
save of the TOC. Coroutine actor functions are marked with a flag, so we
do have a mechanism for handling them differently.

In the meantime, I guess this isn't going to work for PPC (AIX/powerpc64) 
:( and we have to XFAIL or switch it off.

/* A C equivalent of what's being done.  */
extern void actor (void *p);

/* This is how the public part of the coroutine frame ABI looks.  */
typedef struct __frame {
  void (*a) (void *);
  void (*d) (void *);
  float _other_things;
} generic_frame_t;

/* This is what a coroutine handle looks like.  */
typedef struct __handle {
  generic_frame_t *fp;
} generic_handle_t;

/* A fake call to get a handle...  */
__attribute__((__noinline__))
generic_handle_t get_handle (void)
{
  generic_frame_t *f = (generic_frame_t *)__builtin_malloc (sizeof
(generic_frame_t));
  f->a = actor;
  f->d = actor;
  f->_other_things = 0.0F;
  generic_handle_t h = {f};
  return h;
}

/* .. and part of coroutine state machine that wants to continue
   by executing another coroutine.
   X86 tail-calls this for O2+ (even for PIC) m32/m64
   PPC tail-calls for m32 (even for PIC), but not for ELFv2 m64.
   with the TOC reg caller-saved, perhaps there's no sequence that can
   work.
*/

void actor2 (void *p2)
{
  generic_handle_t h = get_handle ();

  generic_frame_t *t = h.fp;
  /* Use the TOC. */
  t->other_things = 1.1F;

   (*t->a) ((void *)t);
}
