Rich Felker 4f35eb7591 resolver: don't depend on v4mapped ipv6 to probe routability of v4 addrs
to produce sorted results roughly corresponding to RFC 3484/6724,
__lookup_name computes routability and choice of source address via
dummy UDP connect operations (which do not produce any packets). since
at the logical level, the properties fed into the sort key are
computed on ipv6 addresses, the code was written to use the v4mapped
ipv6 form of ipv4 addresses and share a common code path for them all.
however, on kernels where ipv6 support has been completely omitted,
this causes ipv4 to appear equally unroutable as ipv6, thereby putting
unreachable ipv6 addresses before ipv4 addresses in the results.

instead, use only ipv4 sockets to compute routability for ipv4
addresses. some gratuitous conversion back and forth is left so that
the logic is not affected by these changes. it may be possible to
simplify the ipv4 case considerably, thereby reducing code size and
complexity.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
