Looking into this a bit more, specifically the configure check for
dhcpcd: If we pass the /sbin/dhcpcd path to --with-dhcpcd,
IPV6 support is not enabled, because the following check is not run:


elif $with_dhcpcd --version 2>&1 | grep -q "^dhcpcd [[6789]]\."; then
        AC_DEFINE(DHCPCD_SUPPORTS_IPV6, 1, [Define if dhcpcd supports
IPv6 (6.x+)])
fi

Is that really intentional in your patch?
