current-users is better place; this is almost not about amd64.

Probably there are some ifdefs to make this work conditionally, and
they aren't right.  So you'll have to dig in to the files in question
and figure out why and fix them.

Running find on the sources, this is about postfix, and it seems to
have code to deal with systems that don't support v6, which gets
invoked if the v6 headers aren't visible.

I think the problem is that postfix checks for v6 (and has been told
no) in src/gnu/usr.sbin/postfix/Makefile:

  # IPv6 support.
  .if ${MKINET6} == "no"
  CPPFLAGS+=	-DNO_IPV6
  .endif

Then, it assumes that inet_ntop is not declared and has a local
definition.

But, NetBSD with MKINET6=no still defines modern procedures like
inet_ntop, so there's a conflict.


Try applying this patch (not tested) in src/gnu/dist/postfix/src/util/:
