Result sorting is done, modulo any potential bugs. Please test if you
can. In typical usage, IPv6 results (whether from /etc/hosts or DNS)
should be showing up last if you have an IPv4-only setup or if the
only IPv6 route is over 6to4, and first if you have a real IPv6 setup.
For results that are a mix of link-local or other differently-scoped
addresses the sorting is more complex. Testing with fancy IPv6 setups
would be very helpful.

Still pending.

Done.

Indeed. or1k is mostly done, but probably not enough to think about a
merge yet, especially since it needs refitting for the reloc.h
changes. No idea on the status of aarch64.

Let's punt on all these.

Still not sure what's best. Perhaps we should define max_align_t to
have alignment of MIN(8, alignof(long long), alignof(double),
alignof(long double)) or similar since that seems to be effectively
what GCC is doing. However I don't see any way to give the _type_ such
alignment without depending on GNU C. Per C11 I don't think _Alignas
is valid on struct/union members but I seem to remember hearing that
the committee is considering this a defect. Anyway, the whole topic is
probably still too complex to deal with between now and release.

I just looked up the confusing mess with __xmknod taking a dev_t *
rather than dev_t, so I think I can knock this one off the list
between now and release.

I think all of these should be deferred for now.
