Or make cygwin-pc-i686-gcc -mno-cygwin foo.c mean something subtly but significantly different from mingw32-pc-i686-gcc foo.c by adding a startfile object that does this int _CRT_fmode = _O_BINARY to -mno-cygwin gcc specs. This will make binmode default, even for stdin/stdout/stderr, and let all the cygwin binmode tools work just dandy I've run into same problem as Bob Rossi myself, while building gcc's libgomp (#defines in header file are generated using AC_CHECK_SIZE_OF) for mingw, and I'm stll looking for acceptable solution too.
