In the open source world, patches speak louder than words. Until someone takes time to actually write a patch to make ptx optionally ignore \r for all platforms, probably nothing will happen other than the fact that we diagnosed the room for potential improvement. Since this particular issue doesn't seem to be much of an itch for many of the primary coreutils contributors, it may be a while. But I doubt any upstream solution will involve the use of O_TEXT. As for how cygwin behaves with \r, I reiterate that you are better off raising your issues on the cygwin list, where there is a wider audience of people more familiar with the tradeoffs involved for a single platform's behavior. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
