I apologize for not knowing the internals of the issue out of the hand
after being stuck with the issue for a year. I also don't know what it
means to have "proper headers".

The bug report, however, mentions
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/6907/commits/e6800d3cfb48542634c25c24a6aae7587d97eb4f
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/6907/commits/c46530942bc0837379eae8bfd48b4673c46a6e0c
which are both "closed", and seem to be part of
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/8c6f6a2f91a28df14944e9567ac0dc14893264d5
from Nov 20, 2017.

Also, my patch names suggest that
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6359 which ends up in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/6910, merged with 8c6f6a2
refernces above, and
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6961 is suggested as being
fixed by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/5971cb9de9 - I can't
seem to figure out whether this has been merged to systemd proper due to
not enough git/github knowledge.

That being said, systemd-232 has another crippling IPv6 error that
manifests itself when SLAAC is used behind an AVM Fritz!Box. I have not
investigated this any further since later systemd releases seem to have
that bug already fixed and am currently wasting precious time
backporting a later systemd to stretch locally instead of working on
systemd 232 any more.

Greetings
Marc, declaring IPv6 on systemd 232 a lost cause
