This patch came by way of the openntpd github. Linux (and possibly others) will attempt to bind to 0.0.0.0 when binding to '::' and return an error if it can't, unless IPV6_V6ONLY is set. See https://github.com/openntpd-portable/openntpd-portable/issues/19
OK as an in-tree patch? OpenBSD seems to adopt a more liberal interpretation and not return a failure in the same scenario.
