Ouch. That's surely not right.
The commit that introduced this was:
commit 97899bc908a421295d814801ff86edeb9304d2fd

eglibc: check for required distro features
If users accidently override the DISTRO_FEATURES in local.conf,
then build failures occur for lack of libc functions.
All features in DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC should be in DISTRO_FEATURES.
That's why this patch let the recipe inherit distro_features_check
class and set REQUIRED_DISTRO_FEATURES to "${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC}".
[YOCTO #6381]
But the entire point of the logic in glibc-options is to make these
options, well, optional.
It looks like the required_distro_features use in eglibc is misguided. Can
you comment out the REQUIRED_DISTRO_FEATURES assignment in glibc.inc and
verify that it then builds fine without ipv6 enabled?
Cheers,
Ross
