I agree with Phillip's point of view here:
It would be better for memcasecmp and memcmp to be consistent.

How about something like this:

 static int memcasecmp(const void *vs1, const void *vs2, size_t n)
 {
-       size_t i;
-       const char *s1 = (const char *)vs1;
-       const char *s2 = (const char *)vs2;
-
-       for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
-               unsigned char u1 = s1[i];
-               unsigned char u2 = s2[i];
-               int U1 = toupper (u1);
-               int U2 = toupper (u2);
-               int diff = (UCHAR_MAX <= INT_MAX ? U1 - U2
-                       : U1 < U2 ? -1 : U2 < U1);
+       const char *s1 = (const void *)vs1;
+       const char *s2 = (const void *)vs2;
+       const char *end = s1 + n;
+
+       for (; s1 < end; s1++, s2++) {
+               int diff = tolower(*s1) - tolower(*s2);
                if (diff)
                        return diff;
        }
}
