           Summary: IPv6 configure test fails on musl c-library
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: timo.teras at iki.fi
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


The autoconfigure tests for IPv6 relies on C-library internals, and it
currently fails for musl c-library based linux. For Alpine Linux bug report see
http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/3158.

A better test (and non-OS dependent) would be to try creating AF_INET6 socket,
if it succeeds, then IPv6 is supported.

See e.g.:

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-6/src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools/configure.ac
(and search for --disable-ipv6)
