This is where this discussion started: do we really need to #ifdef
the IPv6 related code in OpenVPN, or can we assume that any recent OS
that has tun/tap will provide the necessary functions anyway.
Adding lots of #ifdefs doesn't improve code readability and feature
testing, and makes future maintenance harder (because it's not always
obvious if something you change might break a different combination of
optional compile-time features that what you use).
For uClibc, the answer could be "it should be sufficient to just define
'in6_addr_any' locally in OpenVPN code, if uClibc is detected" - that's
just 16 bytes of static data.
