I may be missing something fundamental, but I somehow find the above
does not make any sense.
strcmp(a, b) has to pay attention to NUL in these strings and stop
comparison. strncmp(a, b, n) not only has to pay the same attention
to NUL in the strings, but also needs to stop comparing at n bytes.
In what situation can the latter take advantage of that extra thing
that it needs to keep track of and operate faster, when n is the
length of shorter of the two strings?

What happens if you replace this with
if (patternlen == baselen &&
!strcmp_icase(pattern, basename, patternlen))
and drop the other hunk and run the benchmark again?
