At one of my clients the RTEMS client (client overload!, my client, DHCP client) gets a link-level private address e.g. 169.254.208.184.  They insist that "libbsd" must be providing this as a fall-back address.  It happens infrequently.

The DHCP client of libbsd is dhcpcd. It provides a IPv4 link-local 
address if no DHCP offer is received after a timeout. This is enabled by 
default. You can disable it via the "noipv4ll" configuration option.
