Can you verify that macro TEST_IPV6 was set to `yes'? It it not intended
to be so, but I suspect that configuration did not manage to set the
expected `TEST_IPV6 = no'. Should this have been the case, all three
of tftp.sh, syslogd.sh, and telnet-localhost.sh are wrought to suppress
every IPv6-addressing, thus skipping half of planned test cases.
The use of `configure --disable-ipv6' is expected to be successful
on Raspbian, but clearly I have to figure out a configuration test
to achieve this beyond simple header file poking.
Many thanks,
