O_TEXT is correct because gawk is a text tool in the first place and
it should treat input lines identical, regardless if they have DOS
or UNIX lineendings.
I can't tell why it fails for you, because I can't reproduce this
locally. As for the O_BINARY mode, in theory there's a way to
accomplish that without rebuilding gawk by setting the BINMODE
variable:
gawk -v BINMODE=r [...]
Unfortunately it turns out that this doesn't work because gawk fails
to call the setmode function in this case on Cygwin. I'll upload a
patched gawk soon. If you want to apply it by yourself, try this:
