This configure check:

  AC_MSG_CHECKING(for working IPv6 support)
  AC_CACHE_VAL(guile_cv_have_ipv6,
  [AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <netinet/in.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>],
  [struct sockaddr_in6 a;  a.sin6_family = AF_INET6;],
  guile_cv_have_ipv6=yes, guile_cv_have_ipv6=no)])
  AC_MSG_RESULT($guile_cv_have_ipv6)
  if test $guile_cv_have_ipv6 = yes; then
    AC_DEFINE(HAVE_IPV6)
  fi

loses on NetBSD 1.5.2-stable (i.e., fails to declare HAVE_IPV6).  This
is because the test does not include <sys/types.h>, which man inet6
indicates should be included, and the test program fails with syntax
errors due to lacking u_int8_t etc.

RFC2553 does not appear to mandate including <sys/types.h>, so perhaps
this is a NetBSD bug, but I think it's good for guile to accomodate
it.  Perhaps the include of sys/types.h should be protected by a
HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H conditional, so as not to break systems without
sys/types.h that work with just netinet/in.h.

The following patch (only tested the configure patch because autoconf
is at 2.13 on the system in question) caused configure to define
HAVE_IPV6.

With this patch, guile 1.5.6 builds and make check gives (on an i386):
