Ok, AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL are specified in POSIX, rfc2553 and rfc3493. So I doubt that it will be changed in the near future again, I think something specified in POSIX should be stable enought to include in glibc. I append a patch which adds both defines to resolv/netdb.h and implements it in getaddrinfo(). (Looking at the ugly getaddrinfo code, it seems we really need a new, clean implementation :( ).
