This a binary mode mount.  I agree with you that text mode mounts are a

I only use igncr when there's a good reason to, and one of these is to 
make \r problems go away in interactions between Cygwin and non-Cygwin 
programs in certain configure scripts.

OK, I am working on it and I will get back to you.  autoconf is 
profanely slowly on Cygwin: my baseline testsuite run is still not done 
after many hours of running.
