Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 As best I can tell, this is a non-standard method. It is not in C99, C11,
 etc. per https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/algorithm/qsort.

 My recommendation would be to conditionalize the code to handle both
 signatures. That's just the cost of using a non-standard method.

 We could discuss this on newlib's mailing list but I don't see them
 changing since that would reflect bare metal and Cygwin in addition to
 RTEMS.
