Have you rebuilt and re-installed libc since getnameinfo.c rev 1.32?  Note
that since route is statically linked, you'll have to relink and reinstall
it after re-installing libc.  "make build" should get all this right.

That we had five different programs with six different pieces of code for
formatting link-layer addresses.  I wanted to add a new link type, and
only wanted to have to implement the code to format its addresses once.
