but that document also requires the comparison function be
consistent. it's not clear to me that qsort behavior is defined
if you give it a comparison function that isn't a total ordering.
(I remember 4.2 BSD's qsort also crashed if you used rand() as a
comparison function.)
whether or not there's a bug in qsort, elflink is using qsort in
a buggy way, so it should be fixed.
