Someone noticed. Hence, someone checked. As the patch is not exactly intrusive, I think it's worth the change. On windows it suffices to open and close a file in the "wrong" editor to replace LF by CRLF. I wrecked the subversion-history of quite a files in my local project due to this unwanted transition. > Does the proposed patch even work with more complex modules (due to the > checksum)? If not, any checksum test would fail. As the checksum is computed during write and any (later introduced) '\r' character is dropped, the checksum test succeeds. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34324
