          Issue ID: 12715
           Summary: _compare_fp_t/qsort/bsearch C functions should be
                    nothrow

It's a bad idea to throw exceptions across language boundaries as there is no
guarantee a C standard library doesn't use its own exception handler for some
reason. So `_compare_fp_t` should be `nothrow`.
