I think APR 1.0 already has this fix. It's probably that we need to
backport r1.24 of build/apr_network.m4 (which was done after the 0.9 branch
point). Or, am I misunderstanding?
yep
As long as the broken version of OS X ships with an /etc/hosts file or some equivalent and resolver library that will resolve 127.0.0.1, that should be absolutely fine.
it will be fine anyway :) it is okay to fail the test, as it just brings a few extra instructions... it is only bad to pass the test when in fact it should be failed
some number of boxes will start failing the test now, and incur the trivial amount of extra code in APR for resolving IPv4-mapped addresses
