  You must be using gcc under cygwin, and the source code must have PC-style
CRLF line ends instead of unix style LF-only.  Gcc being a Unix program, it
expects to find only an LF after the '\'; any other text would be an error,
and it doesn't know that a CR could be there.

  To solve it, either convert the line endings in your source code, or use
the cygwin mount command to make a textmode mountpoint for the source.  This
second solution is usually a good deal easier :)
