This is probably OK for applications, but please try not to introduce
more nonstandard namespace-polluting names that are referenced from
separate libraries (collate_range_cmp is referenced from libgnuregex).
BTW, can anyone explain why the following program doesn't dump core
when it is linked dynamically?
---
extern int alarm;
main() { alarm = 1; }
---
When this is linked statically, `alarm' is resolved to be the alarm()
function in the text segment, so the program dumps core as expected.
