coda/lib-src/mlwp/process.s needs to be retooled to your architecture.
There is some old dead code in the file that you might be able to
resurrect for other platforms. At present, only the x86 case
(and possibly linux sparc) work(s). coda is a package under net/
so it should be easy enough to build. Of course, setting it up
and using it is harder.
