This was the dumb mistake I thought I'd made, but it turns out I didn't
make that mistake. No, I was definitely, positively, absolutely using the
cygwin CVS client. (So, why did it give me a File'O'^Ms? The behavior
observed is consistent with CVS downloading without ^Ms, the text-mode
mount point inserting them, and gencode.exe opening the file in binary mode
and seeing them)

As you can see from my second post, manually translating the arm.md file
"fixed" that problem but leads me to a link problem.
The build directory is mounted in binary mode, the source directory is
mounted in text mode.
