By default build with +ipv6 (check in :version), but in my /etc/portage/make.conf I have USE -ipv6.
Can you show us some output to describe what you mean please? emerge —-info emerge -pv vim
Oh, you’re saying vim itself tells you it is built with ipv6 support. Maybe make it clearer in future ;) I’m honestly not sure it’s worth adding a USE flag to disable building vim with the support: 1) it doesn’t add any new dependencies? 2) what does vim actually use it for anyway? It seems like a pointless rebuild to me.

It only seems to control using a modern API for sockets anyway, not JUST "do we use IPv6".
