6. Implementing if_nameindex() and getifaddrs() properly. Usable Netlink
version exists (which might still need some fine tuning):
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/plain/main/musl/1002-reimplement-if_nameindex-and-getifaddrs-using-netlin.patch
Can wait until 1.1.2.
7. To go with 1.1.2 DNS overhaul: adding dns record parsing function:
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/plain/main/musl/1001-add-basic-dns-record-parsing-functions.patch
