  Thanks for reporting this!

  Does the following test "whether sockaddr_in6 has sin6_scope_id"
  succeed?

  I have recorded this as bug 'ipv6-not-detected-on-netbsd' and marked
  release critical.

Yes, the check for sin6_scope_id fails in the same way - I should have
noticed that.  I added <sys/types.h> to that one and the check
succeeed.

BTW this is now on a NetBSD 1.5.3_RC (netbsd-1-5 as of 20020313),
although I don't think that matters much.

Here's my current diff for this.  Note that only the 'configure' part
was tested - my autoconf is at 2.13.
