This isn't only about 'qsort', it's also about another test (whose
name I cannot remember at the moment).  Anyway, doesn't Guile expect
to be able to call its own functions via dynamic-link?  If it does,
then the only way of making that work is to use -export-dynamic, if my
reading of the libtool docs is correct.
