The reason I ask this is that I would like to "force enable" building of IPv6 support in the Debian packages, since they end up running on boxes that they are not built on, and my guess is that not all the Debian build machines have IPv6 support (I'm not entirely sure on this,however).
If I recall correctly since last time this issue was up, an lshd built with ipv6 support will fail to run on machines without ipv6 support at runtime. The configure test for real ipv6 support is a workaround for that problem.
We actually worked through that problem and you fixed it in the end, IIRC. I build Debian's i386 lsh with IPv6 support enabled, so I assume that it would be running on many, many boxes across the world, and I haven't recieved any reports of problems with.
I think it would be OK just to put in the configure option - the Debian example would suggest that the problem has been fixed, IMHO.
