The code itself may look OK, but it's not really necessary and the 
special implementation for Linux makes increases maintenance costs.  Can 
we save it for later and first give the common implemention a chance to 
prove itself?

https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00513.html is the last 
post mentioning qsort_s on the glibc mailing list, but it didn't even 
make it into https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master.
Not sure what's planned in BSD land, didn't find anything (but didn't 
look too hard).
