A bit off the topic.
working on Xfree86 port for cygwin, I had problem compiling
all assembly code in various directories in Xfree86 source tree.

Finally, I got compiled if I mounted disk
as binary.  With default mount (i.e text mount) I was getting errors
which were sort of misleading, like something was wrong with
the files or I was using wrong flags.
