[reSIProcate] IPv6 on 64 bit

[Byron Campen]

Should add, before doing this, do the whole build with dyn linking, back
every executable up, make the changes and make sure the backed up
executables still work on the new libs. Might also make sense to convert
everything but the tests and make sure that you still have source compat,
and if everything checks out, finish the conversion.
