We haven't been able to determine if the OS's qsort or pgport's is
faster.  Right now we only force pgport qsort on Solaris (from
configure.in):
# Solaris has a very slow qsort in certain cases, so we replace it.if test "$PORTNAME" = "solaris";
thenAC_LIBOBJ(qsort)fi

Are you willing to say that we should always prefer pgport over glibc's
qsort()?
