First question:  Are you using cygipc or cygserver?

If you're using cygipc, somebody else will have to answer your question.

If you're using cygserver, the include files in /usr/include/cygipc
are irrelevant.  Look into /usr/include/sys.  If you want to change
the values, reading /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README will help.
