1	IPv6 compiled into systemd is most likely for systemd-networkd. If you're not using that part it shouldn't be a problem. If you're using systemd-networkd, you can configure it to not do IPv6. But, I would recommend configuring your system to not use IPv6 instead of removing support. That should prevent most programs from trying IPv6.
