Indeed.

If the answer is “no”, then you may just as well comment out
CLONE_NEWIPC in nix/libstore/build.cc.

The effect is that the build environment will share the same IPC name
space as the outside world, which could interfere when building stuff
that uses SysV IPC.  Hopefully, that won’t be a problem in practice.

HTH,
