well, i was talking about GNU libc where qsort
belongs. The most interesting situation will be 
when Kenner will choose another EH approach as
base in gcc installation. Just imagine, Redhat will
have their libc compiled by gcc, while debian
choose egcs.

For glibc probably the best approach to compile 
all library without any EH info and
ask compiler writers to provide their
own implementations for qsort, bsearch etc.
i don't think there is much code to add.

But i cannot think about what to do with X and
related stuff, for example
