Sure this is unportable: POSIX [1] specifies only the presence of 's6_addr'. I don't see why gnulib should support this: An application can perfectly access the 16 bytes of the s6_addr[] array. Why would it need to access a specific part of it in a special way? Bruno [1] http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html
