-- The macro `ZSTD_USE_C90_QSORT` forces usage of C90's `qsort()`,
-  for situations where the code cannot determine that `qsort_r()` is not supported,
-  such as, for example, older versions of `musl`.
+- The macro `ZDICT_QSORT` can enforce selection of a specific sorting variant.
+  It can be notably set as `ZDICT_QSORT=ZDICT_QSORT_C90`,
+  for situations where autodetection fails,
+  for example with older versions of `musl`.
+  Other selectable suffixes are `_GNU`, `_APPLE` and `_MSVC`.
