"rb" (3. link with binmode.o) 'od' should probably be using #1 or #2 already though, if not that's easy enough to fix I'd think. The poster also had a qustion about the 'expand' utility writing NL-terminated files, when the mount was textmode. That sounded like a bug to me also, but I don't really know how the rules for text mounts are supposed to work on writes, or how 'expand' calls open().
