Ok. It'll be good to notice such cases - to patch source to use buildenv 
tools or to add some build-time packages

But in that case it must at least have some global variable to disable 
IPv6 support (especially daemons like ospf6d autostart). Because in SOHO 
applications or even in some ISP networks not always present IPv6. And 
even most cheap SONO routers like DLink comes without IPv6 support - and 
it additionally slows migration to IPv6.
