Your filesystems are mounted in text mode by default by the initial
gnuwin32 installation.  That causes all files written by cat to have LF
changed to CRLF and stop short at the MSDOS EOF mark (Ctrl-Z).

That's part of why the installation instructions tell you to use the
MSDOS/Windows copy command to splice the files back together.  I don't
have the output file's name in front of me, but the command should be
something like this:

   copy /b xca+xcb+xcc+xcd+xce+xcf+xcg+xch+xci+xcj cdk-src.tar.gz
