:-(.

I looked at the "normal" build issues on 4.8/4.9 again. It's that
dependency loop between libipc.la and libmgr.la. see previous thread
about them, which I followed up with a cross-module dependency analysis.
We need to erase all "up" dependencies which libipc.la has on libmgr.la,
by moving them to inline code, or the definitions into libipc. And swap
the order of the libraries to "libmgr.la libipc.la" in Makefiles.

  Previous proposal which still needs implementing properly was to
create a Subscription API on libipc which libmgr subscribed a callback
to.
