the name is just historic. When I removed Noux, I actually wanted to
rename it but had not found a suitable name yet. Maybe we should rename
the directory to autoconf-pkgs?

The testing workflow of Goa targets Linux currently. But the resulting
binaries and depot archives work across all kernels.

I'm admittedly not well versed in this corner of the libc.

Regarding cooperative threading models in current use, Genode's Thread
API provides the method 'alloc_secondary_stack'. We use that in
combination with setjmp/longjmp at several places (dde_linux, dde_bsd,
libc internal) to implement cooperative control flows.
