Hi,

I tried to recompile the development version of pgcc 2.7.2 (some recent
version) and I ran into the following problem: 
There exists a fix-header program which checks the standard header files
for their ANSI and POSIX complianceness and modifies them (while copying
them into an include/ directory). I noticed that some crap is inserted
into this header files which is more than likely caused by the CR+LF
translation. So I ran dtou on everty header file, but this does not
solve the problem. Then I put _fmode = O_BINARY; at the beginning of the
main function. This solves it, but I cannot really pinpoint what exactly
is causing the trouble nor find a more elegant solution. Someone any
idea?
