the symbol 'setmode' is no longer exported in 64bit Cygwin.
Are you saying that there's no way of reading files in text mode while
removing CR characters from CR-LF pairs?
That's
what caused the build failure. And the code in pipe2.c that calls
setmode should never actually get executed on Cygwin anyway because of this:
int result = pipe2 (fd, flags);
if (!(result < 0 && errno == ENOSYS))
{
have_pipe2_really = 1;
return result;
So define setmode away for Cygwin versions that don't have it. Not
everyone runs the bleeding edge.
