It's pretty hard with strcmp. On modern x86_64 strcmp is vectorised and the first N bytes are compared simultaneously.

I have code samples + remote exploit code against nonvectorised strcmp; I can write this up if anyone thinks it would be helpful.

That might be worthy of a HN post of its own!
Would love to read this writeup!
