I think not, but you should report this upstream first.  They look 
asleep but I didn't hold a mirror under their nose.  If they don't 
respond we might hack around it in Guix.

I suggest that you enable IPv6 support in the meantime.

Guix doesn't virtualise the kernel and expects it to provide all 
that is needful.  Linux offers knobs for *everything*; that 
doesn't mean everything is supported.  Disabling kernel support 
for basic things (namespaces, UNIX domain sockets, IPv6) *will* 
break certain software.

We shouldn't feel obligated to accommodate strange configurations 
out of the box, but we try to do so when the maintenance cost is 
very low.  In this case, you'd need to ensure the test still runs 
on the vast majority of systems with IPv6.

Kind regards,

T G-R
