  Nothing's wrong with reload1.c, except that it seems to have MS-DOS
style end-of-line (CRLF) when cygwin requires Unix style (LF).

  Either run all the files through a dos -> unix EOL convertor,
or mount the source code directory in text mode. (NB: very 
important that you build in a separate directory that is *NOT*
mounted in text mode, or your .o files will get mangled!)

  It is possible that you used WinZip to unpack the tarball.
Ideally you shouldn't do that at all, but if you must, make
sure that in the Options/Configuration dialog, on the Miscellaneous
tab, the checkbox next to "TAR file smar CR/LF conversion" is
*NOT* ticked.

  This sort of thing is covered in the FAQ, IIRC.
