You were correct - it is not sh that is broken, it was your scripts. And
have you considered point 2, that running d2u might be easier than using
igncr?

READ THE ARCHIVES! This topic has been talked to death in the past two
months. The value is the fact that Cygwin on binary mount points is
_designed_ to emulate Linux, and on Linux, you will get the _same_ syntax
errors with raw carriage returns in your scripts; furthermore, this change
was made in response to a performance bug. In my opinion, text mode files
are a hack for people unable to follow Linux semantics; either use text
mount points, or specifically ask bash to operate in text mode; either
way, it should help make it clear to yourself that you are moving away
from Linux behavior and getting slower performance as a result.
