Summary:                    ipv6 ifconfig displays garbage for ipv6 addresses on
blackfin on busybox 1.9.0
Description: 
It appears that something is going wrong with the output of 'ifconfig' for
ipv6. Haven't got so far as seeing if 'ip' is doing the right thing on
setup...

IIRC inet6 addresses in text form are generated here.
Please add "bb_error_msg()" as indicated with '+'
and let us know where it fails:


char *INET6_rresolve(struct sockaddr_in6 *sin6, int numeric)
{
        char name[128];
        int s;

        if (sin6->sin6_family != AF_INET6) {
#ifdef DEBUG
                bb_error_msg("rresolve: unsupport address family %d!",
                                  sin6->sin6_family);
#endif
                errno = EAFNOSUPPORT;
                return NULL;
        }
        if (numeric & 0x7FFF) {
                inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &sin6->sin6_addr, name,
sizeof(name));
+bb_error_msg("inet_ntop: %s", name)
                return xstrdup(name);
        }
        if (IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&sin6->sin6_addr)) {
                if (numeric & 0x8000)
                        return xstrdup(bb_str_default);
                return xstrdup("*");
        }

        s = getnameinfo((struct sockaddr *) sin6, sizeof(struct
sockaddr_in6),
                                name, sizeof(name), NULL, 0, 0);
        if (s) {
                bb_error_msg("getnameinfo failed");
                return NULL;
        }
+bb_error_msg("getnameinfo: %s", name)
        return xstrdup(name);
}
