I don't think so. On RH 6.1, strncmp() is the same it's ever been:
int
strncmp (s1, s2, n) const char *s1; const char *s2; size_t n;
{ unsigned reg_char c1 = '\0'; unsigned reg_char c2 = '\0';
if (n >= 4) { size_t n4 = n >> 2; do { c1 = (unsigned char) *s1++; c2 = (unsigned
char)*s2++; if (c1 == '\0' || c1 != c2) return c1 - c2; c1 = (unsigned char) *s1++;
c2= (unsigned char) *s2++; if (c1 == '\0' || c1 != c2) return c1 - c2; c1 = (unsigned char)
*s1++; c2 = (unsigned char) *s2++; if (c1 == '\0' || c1 != c2) return c1 - c2; c1 =
(unsignedchar) *s1++; c2 = (unsigned char) *s2++; if (c1 == '\0' || c1 != c2) return c1 - c2;
} while (--n4 > 0); n &= 3; }
while (n > 0) { c1 = (unsigned char) *s1++; c2 = (unsigned char) *s2++; if (c1 == '\0' || c1 != c2)
return c1 - c2; n--; }
return c1 - c2;
}
