Upgrade to 1.0.9:

  Without this, connecting to gcin daemon via unix domain socket (which is
  gcin's preferred method) NEVER works. Not sure how it works on Linux, I'd
  like to discuss this with gcin author. Unknown to me at this time.

 files/patch-win0.c:
  On its discussion forum, people said 1.0.9 needs this otherwise the build
  won't work.
