An easier solution to this problem may be to verify that your cygnus
directories are mounted in text mode and not binary mode (I think that's the
way they're supposed to go). If you search through the archives from about
two or three months ago you'll find a message from (I think it was) Jeremy
Sheeley describing how to build AbiWord under CygWin that includes
instructions for remounting your directories in the proper mode.
I had a number of problems that were solved by Jeremy's email, so
hopefully it'll solve some of yours as well.
