Are you running 'configure' or just 'make'? If the latter, then the defaults for each platform are defined in the Makefile (e.g., see around line 790 of the Makefile where we turn off IPv6 for Solaris 2.7, but not 2.8). Patches to tweak the defaults for obscure platforms are welcome.

Also, now that I look at that, we seem to already have a NO_SOCKADDR_STORAGE flag that handles this case? Does setting that fix your problem without this patch?
