That would be correct...

checking whether to enable ipv6... yes
checking ipv6 stack type... kame
checking for ipv6 library if required... inet6
checking for getaddrinfo... yes
checking working getaddrinfo... yes

And in lynx_cfg.h:

/* #undef HAVE_GAI_STRERROR */  /* CF_CHECK_IPV6 */
/* #undef HAVE_GETADDRINFO */           /* CF_CHECK_IPV6 */

It detects them fine and defines ENABLE_IPV6, but doesnt define these
properly. As I said before, GNU autoconf is something that I never
bothered to familiarize myself with... IMO it's dreadful GNU-isms taken to
a new level.
