Description hal 2012-05-07 14:56:49 UTC 
If people do not use IPv6 rpc.bind logs errors:

rpcbind: cannot create socket for udp6
rpcbind: cannot create socket for tcp6

In order to fix the error a manual modification in /etc/netconfig is required:

#udp6       tpi_clts      v     inet6    udp     -       -
#tcp6       tpi_cots_ord  v     inet6    tcp     -       -

udp6       tpi_clts      -     inet6    udp     -       -
tcp6       tpi_cots_ord  -     inet6    tcp     -       -


Could we fix this somehow?

I could imagine to

1. check during src_prepare() if IPv6 is set in kernel config and then to apply a patch accordingly.

or 

2. use ipv6 useflag to deliver a patched /etc/netconfig
