GNU Awk 4.0.1: Cygwin's awk is filtering CR from the input

[James Calfee]

"It seems like the issue is awk specific under Cygwin.  I tried a few
different things and it seems that awk is silently treating replacing
\r\n with \n in the input data."

On Linux (good, we have cr and nl)
$ echo $'line1\r\nline2'|awk 1|od -a
0000000   l   i   n   e   1  cr  nl   l   i   n   e   2  nl
0000015

On Cygwin or MSYS (bad, we have only a cr)
$ echo $'line1\r\nline2'|awk 1|od -a
0000000   l   i   n   e   1  nl   l   i   n   e   2  nl
0000014
