I presume the last one was supposed to be "strnicmp"?  "strncmp" is a
standard case-sensitive function.  If it was a typo ("strnicmp"), yes, it
maps to strncasecmp.

(IMHO, we should probably alias str{,n}casecmp to str{,n}icmp bracketed by
_XOPEN_SOURCE protection....)

: iswspace and towupper are isspace and toupper, but with 2 bytes long
: characters and locale support. Is this available for NetBSD, even
: outside libc?

libc doesn't have any "real" wide-character support yet.  We're hoping to
get some better support integrated in the near future, possibly for
1.6.  There are third party extensions, but I can't think of them off the
top of my head....
