(disclaimer: I don't use mutt)

Ya, but linking with binmode.o doesn't solve the other problem -- that 
of config files with DOS line endings.

It looks to me as if you just can't use the 'binmode.o/automode.o' magic 
bullets.  It seems that the real fix is to go thru the code, and put 
O_BINARY or 'rb' in the correct places, and O_TEXT(?) or 'rt' in the 
correct places.  Yes?
