Actually, cygipc *is* installed, but the new version is empty (as are all
obsolete packages), so reinstalling it won't help unless you go for the
old version.

That said, IIRC, the cygipc functionality is superseded by the Cygwin DLL
itself, so deleting -lcygipc should work.  However, now instead of
starting the cygipc service, you need to add and start the cygserver
service.  I'm sure there's an entry about this in the FAQ or the User's
Guide somewhere -- if not, you can read the cygserver README.
