    I guess we'd have to test that.

• File src/core/socket.c:

  • Patch Set #1, Line 85: rc = getaddrinfo(host, portbuf, &hints, &result);

    what about, if result from getaddrinfo is empty (result==NULL), then call getaddrinfo again without […]

    That might be an option. The other option would be to keep the call as-is, but perform some manual post-processing of the result before passing it to the addrinfo_helper caller.

    I still think it's weird for getaddrinfo to ever return anything IPv6 on a system that has no CONFIG_INET6 in the kernel at all. I guess glibc simply doesn't care what the kernel supports or doesn't support. In any case, even if we fixed glibc, it would take ages to propagate.
