I say go for it. It is best to have no HAVE_IPV6 tests at all, and just move that stuff down into gnulib. > Likewise for gethostbyname(3) versus getaddrinfo(3). > The change would streamline the code better. > > In other words, are there any systems at whom GNU Inetutils > is targeted, and which still lack access to getnameinfo(3) > and getaddrinfo(3)? If there are, we should handle them through gnulib. It is very cool to see your progress in this area! /Simon
