  Wow.  Well, that's real strange.  If I were you I'd still make sure what
kind of line ends they have by checking in a hex editor, since that error
*is* exactly what gcc does when it gets fed a CRLF instead of a LF.  Is it
possible the CVS client you used got them wrong somehow ?

  Which version is that?  A lot of work was done on the pre-processor in
the 2.96->3.0.x development, and it may be that this version does accept
CRLF, whereas the old version in the 2.95.3 source that you used to build
your cross compiler still does not.
