Ok, I remember it again. Last year there was a patch about _fmode and
O_BINARY for gcc -mno-cygwin. See herefor the the messages in
emacs-devel with:

,----
| Subject: address@hidden: Re: Issues with Windows gcc -mno-cygwin
|       (Mingw)]
`----

,----[ snippet from the emacs.c patch ]
| ! #if defined (MSDOS) || defined (WINDOWSNT)
|     /* We do all file input/output as binary files.  When we need to translate
|        newlines, we do that manually.  */
|     _fmode = O_BINARY;
| + #endif /* MSDOS || WINDOWSNT */
|   
| + #ifdef MSDOS
`----

I tried it and then it works fine. Is it not possible to add an file
to the /pub/gnu/emacs sources that describes the restriction or
mentinones the patch.
