Why you don't have included the IPv6 support in the ebuild? This ebuild creates a symlink because they included IPv6 support in the program and the symlink gives backwards compatibility and support of fping6 in other people's scripts created pre-4.x.

For example: To run properly, LibreNMS requires the fping6 binary, and the newer builds don't have this binary, so this symlink is the proper way to make it run without any errors.
