When I tried traceroute -s d.e.f.1 d.e.f.2, it worked, the first time the
Linux box in question talked to the BSD/OS in question without the aid of
an extra host spoofing responses to the arp queries in question.
The command you suggested also had the desired effect. However...
# arp -d d.e.f.2
# traceroute d.e.f.2
traceroute to d.e.f.2, 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 a.b.c.1 2997 ms !H 2998 ms !H 3000 ms !H
(ie, failure by default)
# traceroute -s d.e.f.1 d.e.f.2
traceroute to d.e.f.2 from d.e.f.1, 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 d.e.f.2 1 ms 0 ms 0 ms
# traceroute d.e.f.2
traceroute to d.e.f.2, 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 d.e.f.2 1 ms 0 ms 0 ms
(success, and success by default once the MAC address is known to the ARP
table)
# arp -d d.e.f.2
# traceroute -s 5.5.5.5 d.e.f.2

at this point the tcpdump shows arp requests from d.e.f.1, ie, correct ARP
requests.
But straight command line ping and traceroute with no explicit source, and
sockets which are not explicitly bound (eg, standard netkit telnet) are
perhaps being auto-bound or otherwise made to choose a.b.c.1 as their for
arp requests.

It's not in the case of telnet (simple to see by strace), and I expect not
in the case of traceroute with no explicit source either. However, perhaps
the automatic bind is choosing the primary address.
So if I want it to work I most likely need to make the ARP request ignore
the higher level bindings of the socket.
