Ok, have tried building rump.rtadvd without the privsep code and it
seems to work now.

It seems to be nearly working when built with SMALLPROG then run with
rumphijack.

Maybe just include a SMALLPROG build alongside the normal one.

If I use the "-T" flag to dhcpcd(8) it now sends a RS and gets back a
RA, it doesn't set the address of the interface though as expected.

If I leave off the "-T" flag it does this:

main: control_open: Undefined error: 0
dhcpcd-9.1.4 starting
main: control_start: No such file or directory
dhcpcd exited
