+This may be because you are using the default cygwin shell.  The
+default cygwin shell (/bin/sh.exe) is ash which appears to work in

+Your partition holding the source files is mounted binary.  It needs

+the Cygwin utilities specify explicitly whether they want binary or
+text mode when working with source vs. binary files, which overrides
+the mount type.) To fix this, you just need to run the appropriate
+mount command once -- afterwards, the settings are remembered in the
+registry.
