Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function cannot work correctly on character strings in multibyte locales.
Gnulib provides alternative functions @code{mbsncasecmp} and @code{mbspcasecmp}
that do a case insensitive comparison of character strings and that work in all
locales.
