Sorry, I should have used a better commit message...   I don't think
this is exploitable, or even triggerable - from my understanding, the
gethostbyname(3) function cannot return non-AF_INET address, unless
some internal resolver option has been set, which none of the programs
using getrpcport(3) seems to do.
