Changing the defaults for these platforms may be a good idea, but I
actually like the option of having coroutine-gthread because it's much
friendlier to debug - gdb supports threads, but not coroutines.
Is coroutine-gthread blocking anything or is it just that you're not
entirely confident in its correctness?
