Any distro that wants to use it just needs to make >sure that the kernel support is present (either built-in or as a module) the kernel configury should also look whether it should enable socket/ipv4/ipv6 or any combination. There are quite some packages out there who can be configured with --disable-ipv6 ¹) and these should probably also honor the distro's ipv6 choice, for example. I think it would also be good to put USE_NLS into DISTRO_FEATURES as "nls" like it was done for busybox and uclibc, yes? ¹) bind, mutt, libpcap, iptables, net-snmp, lighttpd, tcpdump, python, quagga come to mind, to name just a few. Not sure if all of them detect this properly so i tend to turn it off via configure.
