I'd like to get rid of ipcclean immediately; it hasn't had any usefulness
in years.

The issue is larger than the proposed patch addresses, though.
I see the following stuff installed in .../bin by CVS HEAD:

clusterdb        initdb           pg_resetxlog     postmaster
createdb         ipcclean         pg_restore       psql 
createlang       oid2name         pg_standby       reindexdb 
createuser       pg_config        pgbench          vacuumdb 
dropdb           pg_controldata   pltcl_delmod     vacuumlo 
droplang         pg_ctl           pltcl_listmod 
dropuser         pg_dump          pltcl_loadmod 
ecpg             pg_dumpall       postgres 

There's an awful lot of names here that don't have any obvious
connection to Postgres ...
        regards, tom lane
