Summary:                    [PATCH] uClibc cannot resolve IPv6 addresses from
/etc/hosts
Description: 
This patch fixes two erros in host lookup for IPv6:

1. gethostbyname2_r calls __get_hosts_byname_r, but with AF_INET as type
2. when __read_etc_hosts_r is searching for an IPv6 address and encounters
an IPv4 address, it stops searching and returns an error. This prevents the
user from having IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the same host name.

The attached patch fixes both.
