This specific use-case (ping6) unfortunately still doesn't work, but I
don't think
Incidentally even /with/ my patch ping6 doesn't work. This is because
due to the innards of how libnss works only when _nss_X_gethostbyname4_r
is called is it possible to return the scope id--the outputs of the
_nss_X_gethostbyname2_r and _nss_X_gethostbyname_r do not include this
data--_nss_X_geth

Hi,
libnss-mdns doesn't set the scope-id for link-local addresses, so
something like
$ ping6 example.local
gives
connect: Invalid argument
while
$ getent host example.local
returns a valid link-local IPv6 address (fe80::...) and
3 matches
