You are looking at glibc-2.1.x. That is now (and has been for some while)
the stable/feature-freeze version of glibc. Mainline development is on
different branch that will be glibc 2.2.x, but that release is not yet very
near. See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/glibc/ for information on accessing
the current glibc development sources via anonymous CVS or cvsweb. There
you will find some ipv6 support that is being worked on; it is certainly a
moving target.
