Why void *? We can delcare as char *.
If you look at how this function is used you'll see
int (*cmp_fn)(const void *, const void *, size_t);
cmp_fn = s->sort_flags & REF_SORTING_ICASE
? memcasecmp : memcmp;
So the signature must match memcmp to avoid undefined behavior (a
ternary expression is undefined unless both sides evaluate to the same
type and calling a function through a pointer a different type is
undefined as well)

Then we avoid this extra step.

There's no need for two entirely new variables...

You can do toupper(s1[i]) directly (BTW, there's an extra space: `foo(x)`,
not `foo (x)`).
While we are at it, why keep an extra index from s1, when s1 is never
used again?
We can simply advance both s1 and s2:
s1++, s2++
+ int diff = (UCHAR_MAX <= INT_MAX ? U1 - U2
+ : U1 < U2 ? -1 : U2 < U1);
I don't understand what this is supposed to achieve. Both U1 and U2 are
integers, pretty low integers actually.
If we get rid if that complexity we don't even need U1 or U2, just do:
diff = toupper(u1) - toupper(u2);
+ if (diff)
+ return diff;
+ }
+ return 0;
+}
All we have to do is define the end point, and then we don't need i:
static int memcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n)
{
const char *end = s1 + n;
for (; s1 < end; s1++, s2++) {
int diff = tolower(*s1) - tolower(*s2);
if (diff)
return diff;
}
return 0;
}
(and I personally prefer lower to upper)
We should be using tolower() as that is what POSIX specifies for
strcasecmp() [1] which we are trying to emulate and there are cases[2] where
(tolower(c1) == tolower(c2)) != (toupper(c1) == toupper(c2))

This hurts my eyes. I think the complexity of this chunk warrants a
separate function. Then the logic would be easer to see.
Cheers.
