 Upstream seems to have dumped bugzilla and switched to trac, and in
 the process either lost or closed this report -- there are some bug
 reports in their trac that have bugzilla numbers attached to them, but
 none are 1076.
 
 One might think this means that the problem's been fixed upstream, but
 as far as I can tell from looking at the source it hasn't. (But if you
 want to try building 1.6, I suppose there's some chance I might be
 wrong.)
 
 Maybe we should just disable the warning... if they think casting from
 sockaddr_in* to sockaddr_in6* is going to be valid, presumably it's
 because the thing was originally allocated as a sockaddr_storage and
 it therefore should (one would hope) be properly aligned.
