I have tried the latest snapshot after the correction/patch from: 
"[vlc-devel] vlc: svn commit r14195 (courmisch)" but the compile error
is still present:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.   -DSYS_LINUX -I./include `top_builddir="." ./vlc-config --cflags vlc` -Wsign-compare -Wall  -pipe -MT src/network/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.o -MD -MP -MF "src/network/.deps/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.Tpo" -c -o src/network/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.o `test -f 'src/network/rootwrap.c' || echo './'`src/network/rootwrap.c; \
then mv -f "src/network/.deps/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.Tpo" "src/network/.deps/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.Po"; else rm -f "src/network/.deps/lib_libvlc_a-rootwrap.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Actually the problem is the macro IPV6_V6ONLY and not AF_INET6.
Apparantly AF_INET6 is defined while IPV6_V6ONLY is not. 
When I replace the latter by the former in the #ifdef directive the
compilation is okay but of course I do not know if this is the correct
way to correct the problem, maybe the bug is that IPV6_V6ONLY is not
defined while AF_INET6 is. 


Greetings Klaus.
