Re: [Mingw-users] MinGW's awk 3.1.7, config.status, and CRLF issues

OK.  In other words, it is a problem of the awk script in
`config.status' which doesn't anticipate the CRLF case within a Unix
line ending environment...

And indeed, if I read the correctly correctly, the $ac_cs_awk_cr stuff
or something similar is missing for the `defines.awk' script (within
`config.status').

`git clone' using msysgit, which uses CRLF by default for checkout
(provided the files are stored as LF within git, as it is for my
repository).  I know how to circumvent the problem, but I was fooled
by the `msys' part in msysgit's name, thinking that those MSYS and
msysgit fit together without additional tweaks...

Thanks for your help.
