maybe. I'm not a expert :)

IMO you are wrong here because all such binaries && linux 2.4
(so sin6_scope_id in kernel) are working fine without almost
any problems (one problem is lack of sin6_scope support in glibc,
so troubles with link-local addresses)

> Use linux-2.4.x
I'm always using latest devel kernel 8) but some PLD users
still use 2.2

(, or usagi linux-2.2.x).
when we were testing it we got problems such as invalid argument
in connect() even for global v6 addresses etc so it was unusable.
