I'm also on NTFS and I don't suffer, especially after the latest change.

Why does everybody fail to evidence?
I'm having a lot of projects on my XP/NTFS system since I'm a developer
developing for Cygwin. I'm running the latest DLL from CVS.
Guess what?
I didn't see any proof that ld or strip create sparse files. All *.a, *.o
and *.exe files take as much blocks as to be expected by non-sparse files.

You're argumenting without proof.
