Have you received some news from the upstream developers to explain why
an IPv6-enabled libwebsocket breaks with a non-IPv6 capable kernel?

In the mean time, I'll mark your patch as Changes Requested in our
patch tracking system, since you have received some comments. So please
make sure you repost a new version once you receive more feedback from
upstream (hopefully a patch for libwebsockets that makes it work
correctly even if the kernel doesn't have IPv6 support).

Thanks,

Thomas
