Ah, then cygipc-1.11 won't work for postgresql. Cygwin (and Linux)
implementations of IPC need a fourth union memeber,
struct seminfo *__buf
which is used when cmd == IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO. Linux also requires a
fifth member
void *__pad
while cygipc declares that fifth member because it was modeled on the
Linux code -- but cygipc never accesses __pad.
This sounds like a vote for 'return to 1.10 behavior'. Any other comments?
