Why the --disable-ipv6 option does not work?

[won seok]

Dear Edvard

Thank you for your advice. 
According to your opinion, I tried to compile the kernel again to
exclude the IPv6 function.
But unfortunately it gave me another problem. I must have more skill
to compile the kernel.
So, I decided to modify the configure file of the Bind9 so as not to
detect the ipv6 functionality. It seemed to succeed. It shows "no" at
checking ipv6 releated function. But the compilation of the bind9
still showed any errors.

What's the problem? 

I appreciate your help.
