Comment (by axeld):

 I've only really looked at the first patch, and that looks good. I'm all
 for applying it, although I would closely match the 'inet6' option in
 semantics (I haven't looked at the sources to be able to tell).

 However, I don't think this should be the solution to the original
 problem, though; getaddrinfo() should only return an IPv6 address if there
 is a configured IPv6 interface (and vice versa), no matter what
 resolv.conf says.
