 As ipv6 support is listed in the facillities, I was under the impression,
 that there would be a compiler option. Moreover, because there are also
 versions for OS's that do not support ipv6.

 This is all I could find.

        Add IPv6 support - default if building system supports RFC2553
        API, except under Win32 where it needs to be enabled explicitly
        (set IPV6=1 during make). Under Win32 at least WinXP SP2 is
        required. Outbound IPv4 or IPv6 usage can be limited by using
        -4 or -6 node parameters respectively.

 But why would you want to remove the ipv6 support on a linux system.
 There are other ways to disable IPv6 in Linux alltogether.

 I would have to look for those. I do use IPV6, so disabling it is unknown
 territory for me.
