Re: bash CR and backquotes trouble

I am using bash version:
3.1.17(9)

I have tried to use shopt -s igncr but I have an issue with the following shell construct:

t=`gcc --print-multi-lib` where gcc is a mingw gcc.

As my gcc is a mingw program, it outputs CR/LFs. In previous versions bash used to ignore the CR, so t variable was not containing any CR.
Now this is no more the case and this is causing some troubles


Why isn't "t=`gcc --print-multi-lib | d2u`" not a solution here?
