[issue40339] Instead of skipping, IPV6 test(s) fail on a non-IPV6 machine

[M T]

New submission from M T <mi+python-2020 at aldan.algebra.com>:

I have no use for IPv6 and, when recompiling my OS, disable the feature completely. Python compiles nicely despite of this, but the IPv6-related tests fail instead of being skipped:
