yes, it is sad that you tricked him into doing that. by doing that youve now
rebroke something else:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00155.html

and while your gripe can by fixed by simply doing "awk something | tr -d '\r'",
the Awk issue that I presented (and that was properly fixed) is now broken again
with Alexpux/MSYS2-packages and git-for-windows/git.

so because of your refusal to add an extra pipe on your command line
(or just do text mounts), portable Awk scripts are broken again on those
platforms.
