Yes - it does seem to be an IPv6 problem. I don't recall any recent
changes in this area. Were you successfully able to run the tests with
previous versions of OpenSSL?

Looks like the failing call is here:

        if (setsockopt(sock, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY,
                       (const void *)&on, sizeof(on)) != 0) {

To which we get an errno indicating "Invalid argument". So it looks like
your host has the relevant IPV6 macros defined (otherwise we would have
got a compilation failure) - but doesn't understand them when used.

If you're not using IPv6 on that host and this is the only test failure
then it can probably be safely ignored.
