After finishing the installation of gcc-core (which includes binutils as 
far as I understand) configure + make ran fine. I have now patch 2.5.9 
compiled for Cygwin I believe. Or?

My intention was to look at the source code and see how it handles line 
endings. I do not know if that is realistic though. As I said before 
what I want it to do is:

1) Keep the line end style for the patched file.

2) Read the patch file and apply it even if it uses a different line end 
style.

This is simply what I expect of a text oriented tool. Comments and help 
are welcome! (But please no holy war on line end style. That is just 
improductive.)
