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.
