[issue1958] IPv6 compiled getaddrinfo returns IPv6 address even if the system does not support IPv6

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

My guess is that the C library returns it because /etc/hosts says so.
The convention is that /etc/hosts should call ::1 ip6-localhost (and
ip6-loopback) instead.
