I _HATE_ the whole issue of text-mode. That's strange. I don't have any problem with gencodes; but one mystery I've never been able to understand is that my fixincluded headers get dos style line ends even when I've stripped all the originals (in $prefix/sys-include) and my build dir is mounted unix mode and my source dir is mounted text mode. In particular, I've never had any trouble with the .md or other config files, except when I've forgotten to use the textmode path to invoke the toplevel configure command. I haven't investigated or experimented, but I've wondered if it somehow relates to the mode of the /tmp dir, which an awful lot of files pass through on their way from one place to another. Hmm. A second thought occurs to me: you aren't using winzip to untar the source, are you?
