Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Indeed, I think the runtime check is misguided. If the system provides the 
required APIs for AF_INET6, then IPv6 support should be enabled regardless of 
whether the current system config allows to create an IPv6 socket or not.

Would you want to provide a patch for this? It's probably simple.
