DESCR:

  Bing is a point-to-point bandwidth measurement tool (hence the 'b'),
  based on ping. Bing determines the real (raw, as opposed to available
  or average) throughput on a link by measuring ICMP echo requests
  roundtrip times for different packet sizes for each end of the link.

No HOMEPAGE, https://repology.org/project/bing/versions says our 1.0.5 is 
behind 1.3.5,
distfile is mirrored and even that I can't fetch.

Logs explain setuid need like this, but I can't verify as sources are 
unavailble to me:

  revision 1.13
  date: 2002/09/17 09:06:23;  author: pvalchev;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2;
  This is installed setuid root because it uses SOCK_RAW, so open socket
  as early as possible and revoke privileges immediately after
  bump PKGNAME to reflect chang


I might be holding this wrong, but it dies on startup trying to print something:
