If I patch my local sources it does --strip-trailing-cr automatically...

Agree.
I already wrote a mail.
They came to the conclusion that ssize_t should be defined by the compiler,
but the one responsible for mingw's gcc didn't answer, yet.
If they don't include it, we have to define it global. But where?
The only file that gets included nearly everywhere is config.h
Or do we need a new header os_support.h?
