I agree that it probably isn't worth using strxfrm() again, simply because the glibc implementation is buggy, and glibc as a project is not at all concerned about how badly that would affect PostgreSQL. I would like to point out on this thread that the strcmp() tie-breaker is also a big blocker to implementing normalized keys in B-Tree indexes (at least, if you want to get them for collated text, which I think you really need to make the implementation effort worth it). This is something that is discussed in a section on the normalized keys wiki page I created recently [1].
