Problems With CR-LF Sensitivity

I've been using Cygwin for a while now. I guess it was B20.1; it came as
a "full.exe" file, dated Dec. 5 1998. It was working well, but I wanted
to upgrade to the latest, which I did when I saw the April 17 announcement
of the new "Net Release." Immediately I had problems with files that have
DOS-style CR-LF line endings. 'make' won't take Makefiles in DOS format;
'bash' won't execute it's startup scripts in DOS format; ash won't execute
scripts in DOS format, and I'm not sure what else may be wrong. I rebuilt
'make,' and that worked, but I'm not up to the task of rebuilding
everything.
I finally decided I'd try to make the time to report the problem today,
but I noticed there was a bugfix release (May 14 announcement). I tried
that and still have no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Missing
something? Any help will be greatly appreciated. If this is a known
problem with no solution, please let me know how to uninstall, so I can go
back to the previous version I was using.
Thanks in advance,
Xandy
