Well, if they prefer that, then fine. > I imagine they're worried about how this would behave on other > non-Linux OSes that don't use glibc but do have PATH_MAX? You mean they don't like not testing that other codepath with Linux?

BIND itself builds ok, yes, simply with ipv6 disabled (see #651001). The issue is the mixture of bind and dhcpd code, where the bind side does not enable ipv6, and dhcpd enables it. > > So in the end, the first part is not trivial but can be checked on Linux > > (and actually fixes a bug), and the second and third part look trivial > > to me, thus the wonder. > > I think we'll get there, eventually. It might just take a while.
