As per project's README:
> Recent systems can resolve IPv6 host names using getaddrinfo(). This
> primitive is not present in all libcs and does not work in all of
> them either. Support in glibc was broken before 2.3. Some embedded
> libs may not properly work either, thus, support is disabled by
> default, meaning that some host names which only resolve as IPv6
> addresses will not resolve and configs might emit an error during
> parsing. If you know that your OS libc has reliable support for
> getaddrinfo(), you can add USE_GETADDRINFO=1 on the make command
> line to enable it. This is the recommended option for most Linux
> distro packagers since it's working fine on all recent mainstream
> distros. It is automatically enabled on Solaris 8 and above, as it's
> known to work.
Without this option, it is not possible for HAProxy to solve IPv6-only
names. This option is enabled in Debian builds without any notable
adverse effect.
The patches previously applied have been included upstream. Upstream

Semi-automatic update. These checks were done:
- built on NixOS
- ran `/nix/store/vh158gs5y12g1rdd1dhbd1ng2mz1761s-haproxy-1.8.4/bin/haproxy -v` and found version 1.8.4
- found 1.8.4 with grep in /nix/store/vh158gs5y12g1rdd1dhbd1ng2mz1761s-haproxy-1.8.4
- found 1.8.4 in filename of file in /nix/store/vh158gs5y12g1rdd1dhbd1ng2mz1761s-haproxy-1.8.4
`preConfigure` line became too long to edit comfortably. Split up
flags into ones necessary during both build and install phase and
install phase only. Makefile defines a target for OS X/Darwin which
automatically sets the `KQUEUE` flag.
