Actually, we are not out of this 'bug' yet, since the --enable-ipv6 options makes squid fail to build on non ipv6-enabled build machines. I've kindly asked the local admins for a fix but will probably take a while. Since this is the same kernel that runs on all other build machines, is there any way to build the IPv6 support in without the need to test it on the machine the compiler is run on?

Even a manual selection of the right stack would help us build the package on every arch. :-)
