Does it work if you omit AI_ADDRCONFIG?  The purpose of that flag is to
restrict the interfaces to ones that are configured in the kernel (thus
avoiding the attempt to create an IPv6 interface when none exists).  If
that flag is defined but doesn't work on BSD/OS, we may need to probe in
configure for whether it actually works.
