Agreed. Now INSTALL does not have inet6 enabled, but I definitely saw
-DINET6 when the crunched binaries were being compiled. Ah ftp's
Makefile among others have
CPPFLAGS+= -DINET6
That's not good. Its better if such Makefiles have say:
INET6?=yes
to indicate that they want it and have a .included .mk file do say:
.if defined(INET6) && ${INET6} == yes
CPPFLAGS+= -DINET6
.endif
then its easier for the crunchgen pass to turn it off.
