Some of these pb's are related to missing programs on my build host - buildenv 
is not self-contained. E.g. I solved quagga build with installing gawk.

I can confirm that I was able a kernel for Geode today, as you wrote this 
morning. I'll try to upgrade my router to the latest version ASAP.

I believe in two years ipv6 will be a usual demand. 
Given the slow pace of adoption of a new major release, thinking two yrs into 
the future is IMHO reasonable.

We started to provide ipv6 support years ago - sometimes as seperate packages, 
but more often ipv6 support is compiled into the currently build packages by 
configuration settings.
So either we waste space in the latter packages, or we waste time for 
maintenance and administration with the divided packages.

As we make huge changes right now (discontinue floppy support, kernel, uClibc, 
udev),  and therefor making a real cut, moving forward to consolidate the 
remaining splitted packages into a ipv6-ready-form the-start router seems a 
logic and consequent step to me.
