Thanks for the feedback. As you have probably noticed, we've changed 
build systems, so issues like this are not unexpected.

To make sure that this issue doesn't fall through the cracks for a 
1.7-RC, can you please raise a bug report on XORP's Trac at SourceForge? 
You will need to create a SourceForge account to do this:-
    http://bugzilla.xorp.org/

It would be helpful if you could attach the config.log and xorp_config.h 
files from the obj/<your-target-here>/ directory.

Are you able to send us a patch for the IPv6 feature tests in 
site_scons/config/allconfig.py ? If so we can check it in, provided it 
doesn't break the non-Linux case.

There is a bug fix against OSPFv3 for the injection of default routes in 
a non-stub area in SVN.
