globals.h is generated, I guess you refer to globals.cc.

Well, git has a setting named core.autocrlf which converts
line-endings to CRLF on Windows.

This is very commonly used with msysGit and Git for Windows.

If the cygwin repository is cloned with autocrlf set, then all the
source files will have CRLF line endings, including globals.cc...
