Raw socket options are documented in inet[1].

They are available both in libc6-dev (source package glibc), and
linux-libc-dev (source package linux) on my Ubuntu system.
IPPROTO_IPv6 = 41 is located in
* /usr/include/linux/in.h from linux-libc-dev
* /usr/include/netinet/in.h from libc6-dev
and IPV6_V6ONLY = 26 in
* /usr/include/linux/in6.h from linux-libc-dev
* /usr/include/bits/in.h from libc6-dev
And according to RFC 3493[2]:
The declaration for IPPROTO_IPV6, the new IPv6 socket options, and
related constants defined in this section are obtained by including
the header <netinet/in.h>.

Or maybe IPPROTO_IPV6 and IPV6_V6ONLY could be autodetected in
configure.ac?
