Subject: getaddrinfo(3) with AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL flags

Hello,

When I call getaddrinfo() with different families, SOCK_STREAM socktype, 
IPPROTO_TCP protocol, and AI_PASSIVE flag the result is the same on the 
Alpine Linux 3.11.3 and Ubuntu 19.10 (the code sample is below):

----------------

family: AF_UNSPEC, flags: AI_PASSIVE
AF_INET  IPv4 addr '0.0.0.0'
AF_INET6 IPv6 addr '::'

family: AF_INET,   flags: AI_PASSIVE
AF_INET  IPv4 addr '0.0.0.0'

family: AF_INET6,  flags: AI_PASSIVE
AF_INET6 IPv6 addr '::'

----------------

When I use getaddrinfo() with AF_INET6 family and additional AI_V4MAPPED 
| AI_ALL (return both IPv6 and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses) flags the 
result on Ubuntu contains only IPv6 '::' address:

----------------

family: AF_INET6,  flags: AI_PASSIVE | AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ALL
AF_INET6 IPv6 addr '::'

----------------

whereas the result on Alpine Linux contains both IPv4-mapped IPv6 
addresses '::ffff:0.0.0.0' and  IPv6 '::'

----------------

family: AF_INET6,  flags: AI_PASSIVE | AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ALL
AF_INET6 IPv6 addr '::ffff:0.0.0.0'
AF_INET6 IPv6 addr '::'

----------------

Is it expected behavior?

I use Alpine Linux 3.11.3 from docker with musl libc (x86_64).

Thanks,

Alexander.
