Alfred, could you consider giving this matter a priority
larger than infinitesimally small? Afterwards, Simon will
have an ideal time for producing a next snapshot. We have
already now covered important build issues, as well as
having helped GNUlib to resolve an fstatat issue that
produced false negatives with our previous snapshot.
This ping6 issue is the last I am presently aware of
and which is an obstacle for every system except GNU/Linux.

A reminder: Only IPV6_HOPLIMIT and IPV6_RECVHOPLIMIT are
in fact used in "ping/ping6.c", whereas IPV6_2292HOPLIMIT
was introduced in "configure.ac". My comments in the previous
message should provided sufficient basis for you to decide
on the implementation you originally intended.

Best regards,
  Mats
