I compiled on AS3 where ideally the test for IPv6 should have failed. The kernel has support for inet6, but interface test fails (see below).

One way to check if inet6 works is to ping self:

Example from AS3:

$ ping6 -c 1 ::1
socket: Address family not supported by protocol

Example from AS4:

$ ping6 -c 1 ::1
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms

--- ::1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.028/0.028/0.028/0.000 ms, pipe 2

That would be great.
