getaddrinfo() without hints defaults to:
ai_flags = AI_ADDRCONFIG|AI_V4MAPPED with glibc, andai_flags = 0 with musl libc.
That means musl by default returns addresses that may be unreachable from the current machine whereas glibc won't.
And on the flip side, glibc will return IPv4-over-IPv6 addresses if no IPv6 address for that host exists whereas musl won't.
We should probably harmonize that one way or the other but what's the preferred behavior and why?
