inet_ntop() is an IPv6 networking function.  Cygwin does not support
IPv6 yet.  Check for something you can #undef to disable IPv6 in the
app, or check the IPv6 configure tests.  You could also grep for
inet_ntop() in the source and see if it's guarded by any #ifdefs - if
not it assumes IPv6 support which is not present, and you'll have to
adapt it accordingly.

(Disclaimer: I have no idea what "lam-mpi" is or does.)
