How to give IPv6 support to NFS on Linux

Hi,
I am trying to mount NFS over IPv6 on Linux machine which intern needs
RPC support for IPv6. I am using
OS :Linux kernel 2.4.20:rh9.
I got ti-rpc from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kukuk/ti-rpc/ti-rpc-1.1.tar.bz2

which is IPv6 compliant for Linux.
and I have mount utility from
util-linux-2.12pre.tar.gz
which uses some system defined rpc libraries for IPv4. I want to port
that application to IPv6. The rpc used by the mount code does not
support IPv6 specific sockaddr_in6 structure. So, as ti-rpc is enabled
for Ipv6, I want to use those rpc in my code. I am not able to find out
what changes to be made so that whenever make file is run it should link
to the ti-rpc and not the previous ones.

So far, I changed the search path of rpcdir to the path where ti-rpc are
located in the make file. The make file runs successfully but when I try
to mount this application, it gives an error saying that
[root@ipsec-host-251-178 mount]# ./mount -t nfs
2002::172.31.251.174:/home/bin /mnt/nfs
mount: RPC: Remote system error - Address family not supported by protocol

I have doubt whether this will work or not and how do I link it to TI_RPC.
or if there is any other way to make this work please let me know .

If there is any patch available to sunrpc used in linux to make it ipv6
compliant.
Is there any other mount package with NFS which is ipv6 enabled ?

NetBSD-1.5 is said to be one but I have no idea about it as its
makefiles are different ,
how do I make it work in my system ?

Any pointers are welcomed.
