Yes, coda seems to build if you force the selection of the non BSD44
branch of the ifdef.

Definitely - it used to be that not all architectures in NetBSD had
ucontext.h (amd64 didn't for a while, I know) but now it looks like
there is one there that emulates the uncontext stuff with siginfo (I
think)
 
It looks like coda is broken in netbsd-current too... I am getting a
ENODEV for some reason when venus tries to mount /coda.  It looks like
something has come adrift and I need to chase it down.  Also, I am not
entirely sure why (possibly because things are broken) but it seens
coda has disappeared from pkgsrc which is a bit of a worry.
