B.3.1.5 Using gawk In The MSYS Environment
In the MSYS environment under MS-Windows, gawk automatically
uses binary mode for reading and writing files. Thus, there is no
need to use the BINMODE variable.
This can cause problems with other Unix-like components that have
been ported to MS-Windows that expect gawk to do automatic
translation of "\r\n", because it won’t.
Under MSYS2, compilation using the standard ‘./configure && make’
recipe works “out of the box.”
