Now guess why linux-mips.org is running IPv6 :-)

The plain C version btw. expands into the same machine instructions. Of
course it was written on a MIPS so it's no coincidence it'll perform well
on MIPS :)

There is some ongoing effort to put as many Linux servers on IPv6 as
possible. And yes, it's caught bugs before.
Everybody's favorite bug is of course is caused by autoconf. Various
packages only detect the precense of IPv6 if it's actually configured
so there's no more escape from IPv6 already ...
