Point being - if you build on a ipv6 enabled machine, will that binary then
work at all on a non-ipv6 machine? Consider binaries distributed by the
installer... Might as well think up the proper fix before we just band-aid
it for the regression tests..
The check is done by initdb (not on the build machine) and it checks if
getaddrinfo("::1", ...) works. If that doesn't work then you don't have IPv6
for all practical purposes. So everything seems to be set up all right.
There is a configure time and a runtime check. The code is below - note
the first #ifdef.
