Some questions about mdns library (sumo branch, but also master)

Hi!
I'm trying to use mdns library (
https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipe/72471/), however I have
some questions.

1) what is the purpose of "
files/0001-nss_mdns-Do-not-include-nss.h-when-libc-glibc.patch
<http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-protocols/mdns/files/0001-nss_mdns-Do-not-include-nss.h-when-libc-glibc.patch?h=master>"?
Is it really necessary?
2) Is it possibile to update it to the latest version in open embedded? I
updated to version 8xx.x.x and it seems to be ok, but I prefer to know if
there is a reason why it is still at 7xx.x.x.
3) Inside the mdns receipe there is a reference to "libnss_mdns" but it
seems fixed to version 0.2. On open embedded there is version 0.10. To use
mdns should I install libnss 0.10?
4) How does mdns library manage IPv4 Link local? Is there something to
configure or packages to add to receive a link local address after 60
seconds?

I'm asking about mdns and not avahi, because I want to use the official
Apple library instead of Avahi. Do you have other additional suggestions
about this topic?

Thank you.

The first three are still unresolved questions for me, but I understood
question 4 thanks to avahi-autoipd without adding all avahi lib. In this
way I can use autoipd to assign link local without running the full avahi,
but mdns by apple.
However I'm having some problems because it seems that they are not
compatibile. I'm confused. I found some references about avahi compat but I
don't understand it its require or not and how to add it if not present by
default
