It looks like this reports *an* IPv6 address, not multiple IPv6 addresses,
even though every adapter / host has at least one, and ofter multiple, these
days. You should report all the addresses, link-local included, I would
suggest. That obviously applies to all the implementations. :)

I assume that this is code you are actually proposing and have reviewed it as
such. It isn't entirely clear that is what you meant, though, so sorry if I
misunderstood your intention.

This would enormously better use /sbin/ip from iproute2, if available, since
that can report addresses that are simply invisible to /sbin/ifconfig. This
includes secondary addresses assigned to the same adapter without an alias
name, and causes issues with IPv4 as well.
