With point-to-point interfaces, the IFA_ADDRESS netlink attribute contains the peer address while an extra attribute IFA_LOCAL carries the actual local interface address. Both the glibc and uclibc implementations of getifaddrs() handle this case by moving the ifa_addr contents to the broadcast/remote address union and overwriting ifa_addr upon receipt of an IFA_LOCAL attribute. This patch adds the same special treatment logic of IFA_LOCAL to musl's implementation of getifaddrs() in order to align its behaviour with that of uclibc and glibc.

musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
