It looks like they have been redefined to strcasecmp and strncasecmp.

I checked in the following change.

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/9966f1f71c32

But I don't see anything in the Octave sources that defines strcmpi or
strncmpi, so I don't know how this change is happening.  Does your
system define these symbols in some header file?  Where?

Note that if you update your sources, you will also get all the
changes I just made to untabify the source files, so nearly
everytthing will be recompiled.  If you want to avoid that to make a
quick check of this change, then just make the change by hand and
update later.

OK, find is also a .oct file.  Do any of the functions defined in .oct
files work for you?
