Since by default IPV6_V6ONLY option is *turned off* by default for ipv6 sockets in Linux it is possible to use the IPV4-mapped IPV6 addresses to do the binding [1].

What I have tried was:
$ export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=::ffff:127.0.1.1
$ epmd -d
$ netstat -npta | grep 127.0.1.1:4369
tcp6 0 0 127.0.1.1:4369 :::* LISTEN 3544/epmd
