We have made some improvement regarding RFC2292 APIs in USAGI glibc.
You can get the usagi glibc patch against original glibc.

In order to avoid inconsistency between kernel and glibc, we reccomend to
install USAGI kernel, glibc and iputils at the same time.

From my experience, almost current IPv4/IPv6 applications work correctly
without re-compile after installing USAGI kernel and glibc.
