What are you reporting here?  That newlib lacks documentation for lots
of stuff?  Yes, that's certainly true, but then again qsort() is a
standard function of the C library and there are many places to document
this, such as
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/qsort.html>. 
See also: glibc manual, Freebsd manpages, Solaris manpages, etc.  If you
want better newlib/cygwin documentation then submit a patch.
