Did you forget to install cygipc?

BTW, why don't you just use the pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1.3 that is part
of the Cygwin distribution?  I has been configured as follows:

    configure --enable-multibyte --with-python --with-java --with-CXX --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version

So it seems like it will meet your needs.

Please read the README:

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README
