No.  It is just a warning.  However, for cd /; cd mounted_directory to work it
must exist at / albeit empty.

It takes it in the order of the registry.  Note, doing what you've done may
cause an unintended state of flux where it is impossible to tell what mode you
have.  It is better to leave the default text processing mode and properly port
the program so that files that are meant to be binary are and files that could
potential be created by a human with a text editor are set for text mode
processing or check for the \r ending and remove it.
