Re: [RFC] minimal build option for configure

Sorry again for bothering you, guys, but next debian release will ship with 3.1.3 (and all of it's bugs) if I can't fix this on alpha.

Debian policy states that building result should not depend on build-machine configuration (and enabling ipv6 locally is considered so) and build-machine admins will not fix this for us.

Thanks,

I've kindly asked the local admins for a fix but will probably take a while. Since this is the same kernel that runs on all other build machines, is there any way to build the IPv6 support in without the need to test it on the machine the compiler is run on?
