I didn't have a problem with 2.95.2, but sometime in more recent versions
this behavior has become broken on cygwin.

The instructions Red Hat provides for building the ARM tools (as part of

binmode. Normally /tmp is just an inheritor of the (binmode) / mount point,
so this is the default behavior.

No, these sources were obtained directly using cvs. It's all very mysterious.
