I evaluated IPv4LL support myself a while ago. I believe I know how to
make it work, although have not done so yet. However, since this was
in the context of a commercial contract, I'm not really at liberty to
say anything more about it here.
You can, of course, contact eCosCentric to discuss a contractual
arrangement. See the link in my sig.

Even if you could link against the functions, I'm not sure they would
be usable from the application.
