Hi Christos,

On OpenBSD, I disable IPv6 by default in the build using
DONT_ENABLE_IPV6="YES". I recommend that for OSs where
IPv6 mapped addresses is disabled by default.

The long term plan would be to implement a two socket solution similar
to how the windows networking support is implemented in the JDK.
