It's not completely broken. The GNU asm files for Windows are still
from an old version. When the Windows developer changed the context
structure layout, (s)he only updated the Microsoft asm files, so the
GNU ones are incompatible.

The goal of libcontext is to have the right version, everywhere,
without worrying about the installed boost version and the OS. In the
current coroutine code we currently have #ifdefs checking the boost
version because the API of the library was changed between 1.55 and
1.56...
