Yes - it is already in mainline

This seems to be, it is not - or not strictly. The problem rises with
lib/qsort.c, that could be used (am I right ?) by standalone program and
can import only export.h

There is not yet an assert.h, I have introduced with this patch. This
avoid to include common.h in qsort.c, if qsort can be used in standalone
programs and importing common.h is not allowed. Of course, if I am
wrong, qsort can include directly common.h.
