Text vs. binary processing is based on whether file resides on binary or text
mounted filesystem.
Currently Cygwin seems to check original filename as passed to open call. This
leads to interesting effect - symlink may point anywhere, and target may
reside on filesystem mounted with different option.
IMHO the rule to determine open mode should be applied to symlink target
(final target) - after all, that is _the_ file itself.
What do you think?
