Sounds like ar needs to be taught about open(O_BINARY)/fopen("rb") (or be
linked with binmode.o).

See the other thread on this today.  First, why can't you teach your
revision control system that on a cygwin binary mount, the underlying
system uses \n line endings, not \r\n?  Second, you can add this to the
beginning of your script to make bash ignore \r when the file has \r\n
endings even on a cygwin binary mount:

IFS=' ''	''
' # Yes, that is space, tab, and either a 1 or 2-character EOL as needed

We ask that you ATTACH this, not include it inline, to avoid spurious hits
in the mail archive search engine.

I thought you said you had to use textmode?

Not good.  Are you sure evereything is installed correctly?
