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"; then
AC_LIBOBJ(qsort)
fi

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