not really, no.
That build does not have ipv6 enabled, i.e. the sockets are not created as 
ipv6. However if your network stack is not pure ipv6 (which most aren't for 
compatibility reasons), then even this build works with ipv6.
See here for such hybrid stacks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Transition_mechanisms

The reason for a separate build is that the ipv6 build first always tries 
with an ipv6 socket. Which causes a second (fallback) try with ipv4 if ipv6 
fails. At least in the first builds (as mentioned before: years ago) this 
lead to a noticeable slowdown for every connection.
For most operations this isn't an issue, but in the repo browser where 
hundreds of connections can be made, this would be very noticeable.
