Details

The current version of tcp_wrappers does not support IPv6; indeed, when IPv6 is used, all (even IPv4) addresses are seen as '0.0.0.0' and therefore, as they are regarded as 'UNKNOWN', blocked in most (usable) configurations.

There is, however, an IPv6-enabled version available on ftp.porcupine.org (currently: ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/tcp_wrappers_7.6-ipv6.4.tar.gz), and using it would be a nice step towards an IPv6-compatible archlinux.
This task depends upon

I guess this is why gw6c with tunneling does not work any more and why it is not possible to access ipv6.chat.freenode.net any more.

Is it possible to compile this package with the old tcp_wrappers PKGBUILD after downgrading gcc which also is broken?

BTW, the link is ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/tcp_wrappers_7.6-ipv6.4.tar.gz)

For me it now works since quite some time.
