I will double-check this patch with the folks reporting the compilation
problem, and will apply it if it fixed the problem (i.e., it's enough to
make scan6 compile on al Mac OS versions).

Meanwhile, I have commited a patch that fixes this problem the "dirty"
way: rather than use the system-defined "struct ip6_opt", I have defined
the same structure internally, with the name "struct ip6_option".

(Clearly, your patch is cleaner.. hence I'd like to be able to apply it).

Thanks!

Best regards,
