My next, and last problem with building on my cygwin

This sounds like the non-trivial problem when dealing with CRLF and LF line

Jim, if you are using cygwin 1.5 could you test if CYGWIN=binmode
added to your environment has any effect on the problem? If not,
perhaps you could try a later
version of cygwin (1.7), since I believe that the default setting has changed to
binary mode.
