By default, git has the "autocrlf" """feature""" enabled. This causes the files to have CRLF line endings when checked out on windows, which in the case of configure, causes confusing errors like:
./gcc/configure: line 14: $'\r': command not found ./gcc/configure: line 29: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' '/gcc/configure: line 29: ` ;; when it is invoked. Any files damaged in this way can be fixed with: $ git config core.autocrlf false $ git reset $ git checkout . But, it's better to simply avoid this problem in the first place. This behavior is never helpful or desired for gcc.
