Or make cygwin-pc-i686-gcc -mno-cygwin foo.c mean something subtly but
significantly 
different from mingw32-pc-i686-gcc foo.c by adding a startfile object
that does this

int _CRT_fmode = _O_BINARY

to -mno-cygwin gcc specs.

This will make binmode default, even for stdin/stdout/stderr, and let
all the
cygwin binmode tools work just dandy

I've run into same problem as Bob Rossi myself, while building gcc's
libgomp (#defines in header file are generated using AC_CHECK_SIZE_OF)
for mingw, and I'm stll looking for acceptable solution too.
