The easy fix is to stop disabling IPv6 support when building Xorg.
But yes, it appears we also should have backported the fix for this issue that
gcc 14 has made an error:

Thank you, yes I do recall there was a problem some months ago build Xwayland
and although a fix was found the next release didn't include it but a later rc
did.
So I will be patient, if an option is provided it should be functional, I am
sure you agree. If it wasn't there would have been dirty hacking intervention
which we don't want.
It was functional for many years (almost two decades), but was broken by
gcc 14 raising several issues from warnings to errors. Until the next 21.1.x
release you should also be able to add "-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"
to your CFLAGS to bypass this if you must build with IPv6 disabled using gcc 14.
