Humm,  that explains it..
lidrdma in 1.5 contains librdmacm-1.0.8.tar.gz  dated 31-Jul-2008 two
weeks before the change was checked in.  librdma in 1.5 needs to be
updated.

from rping.c in the 1.5 source.

static int get_addr(char *dst, struct sockaddr_in *addr)
{
        struct addrinfo *res;
        int ret;

        ret = getaddrinfo(dst, NULL, NULL, &res);
        if (ret) {
                printf("getaddrinfo failed - invalid hostname or IP
address\n");
                return ret;
        }

        if (res->ai_family != PF_INET) {  <<<<<
                ret = -1;
                goto out;
        }

        *addr = *(struct sockaddr_in *) res->ai_addr;
out:
        freeaddrinfo(res);
        return ret;
}
