How so? O_TEXT, fopen("rt"), and text mounts, are pure extensions. In other
words, you have already left the realm of Linux by specifying something that
Linux does not provide, at which point cygwin is free to do whatever it wants
(and hopefully what makes the most sense, given it is on a Windows platform
after all). The goal of behaving like Linux is only applicable when you use
APIs that are available in Linux (ie. avoid the cygwin extensions of explicit
text mount files).
