If you nuke this workaround from both selecthost() and my patch, you
need to specify a native IPv4 address and/or an IPv4-mapped IPv6
address into ftphosts appropriately.  It will confuse users.  So, it
is requierd.

The his_addr is referred to determine just an address family, here.
When a remote address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, a local address
is as well.  So, it should be okay.
