Did this ever get resolved? I finally got around to installing 1.3.1
and ran into this one, as there's no hint about this on the PPC install
page. Fortunately I had my archive of the mailing list and quickly
found this thread.

As you may recall, eCos recommends text mode mounts, but  Cygwin 1
defaults to binary mounts, and some problem in the gcc patch process
results in the 14 patched files being in DOS mode. Alas, dos2unix isn't
part of Cygwin, so I had to go track down a copy and install it, and
then add the above find command right after the patch command in the
installation instructions. Right now I'm waiting for powerpc-eabi-gcc
to finish building.
