Incidentally even /with/ my patch ping6 doesn't work. This is because

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

Hello,
I too was greatly annoyed to find that getaddrinfo can never return

something like
$ ping6 example.local
