Mind me while I continue talking to myself ;)

The key lies in RFC 5014, I think, and with reference to the section 9
usage example, the following line should do the trick:

    preferences = IPV6_PREFER_SRC_CGA | IPV6_PREFER_SRC_HOME |
IPV6_PREFER_SRC_PUBLIC

However, at least my glibc include files' `struct addrinfo` do not
define a field `ai_eflags`, and a bit of browsing the Web doesn't
instill a lot of confidence that this functionality is supported by
glibc.

I'll have to do a bit more research before I dip my toes into the glibc
issue tracking waters about this…
