I'd be hated for saying this by many people, but my suspicion is that those who build Git are often better off ignoring the autoconf part of the build procedure, as it is my impression that ./configure we ship is not as well maintained as the Makefile. Looking through the first part of Makefile, I notice that INET_NTOP and INET_PTON bits are not described; we probably should add these two close to where we say "Define NO_IPV6 if you lack IPv6 support".
