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?
