Routing tables won't do much for you when you have several different IP addresses (stateless autocnfigured, privacy extension and static) within the same network on the same physical interface - they'll all use the same route. The longest match algorithm would more or less lead to a random choice of source addresses. 

If you want a specific source address to be used, you have to specify it ... no big deal, though. bind() hasn't changed that much.
