Re: pb with building cross compiler for rtems

["Charles Gauthier" <Charles.Gauthier@iit.nrc.ca>]

CR/LF problem? Check your files. Cygwin patch almost certainly creates DOS files (CR LF line
terminations) if your partition is mounted as text (which is the recommended mode). Scripts do not run
because some tools have not been converted yet to read text files in text mode; rather they read text
files in binary mode Hence, the magic of converting CR-LF to LF does not occur on input. Which tools
are "broken" depends on the release of cygwin that you have. The older the release, the more tools
read text files in binary mode. Make all your text files Unix files if they are not already.
Alternatively, work in binary mode. This has some implications, so read the FAQ.
