Log:
  libc qsort(3): stop aliasing.

  Qsort swap code aliases the sorted array elements to ints and longs in
  order to do swap by machine words.  Unfortunately this breaks with the
  full code optimization, e.g. LTO.

  See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D83201 which seems to
  reference code directly copied from libc/stdlib/qsort.c.
