Well, it seems that sometime since I last built cygipc, the strace stuff
got reworked to be C++ instead of C.  If you look in strace.h, you see
that it declares an "strace" class as well as various "normal"
definitions.  Trying to compile ipc-daemon.c with g++ doesn't help,
though:

$ g++ -Wall -O2 -DVERSION_NUM=1.04 -I./include -I.  -c -o ipc-daemon.o
ipc-daemon.c

In file included from include/IpcNtExt.h:51,
                 from ipc-daemon.c:40:
include/IpcNtStr.h:72: ANSI C++ forbids data member `current_nb' with
same name as enclosing class
ipc-daemon.c: In function `int main(int, char **)':
ipc-daemon.c:278: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in
assignment

I'm not too sure of the significance of the recent (?) changes to
sys/strace.h, so I don't know if the fix for this problem is a bug
there, or if ipc-daemon really should be compiled with g++, and the bug
is actually in cygipc's IpcNtExt.h.

Advice from knowledgeable people (or patches!) eagerly awaited.
