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;
}
