I narrowed it down further. It's AC_CHECKS_SIZEOF that does
  acgeneral.m4:  fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof($1));
which because I'm passing -mno-cygwin, get's a "4\r\n" in a file. (if
the size is 4)
Then it does
  AC_CV_NAME=`cat conftestval`, ...
That cat is the cygwin cat, so it puts out "4\r", which is incorrect.

Do I have to get a cat that's been built with mingw? When I try to
modify /usr/local/share/autoconf/acgeneral.m4 to do
  AC_CV_NAME=`dos2unix conftestval; cat conftestval`, ...
and then run autoconf, autoconf doesn't pick up the changes.

Is this possible to make autoconf do?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
