dhcpcd-discuss

Wow, you weren't kidding. Despite having rebooted the machine a few
minutes before compiling dhcpcd, I must have indeed been using the
wrong kernel headers. I did a full system update (with a kernel
update) and got an IPv6 address next boot. (This is with the -git
version I compiled, so it must have somehow compiled using newer
headers than I had on the system?! Not sure how that could happen.)

I still have to test this on my other arch box, but it looks like you
were right indeed.

Many thanks for your time.

(Sorry about the bad reply, hope this is what you need.)
