This is not a question of the compiler.  All unices use just a plain
'\n' as their line delimiter.  MSDOS C libraries tend to convert this
into CRLF (or visa verse) for `text' files, but in unix, no conversion
is needed.

So you need to change your PGP, or filter the entire file through
another program.  For PGP, take care that you don't modify something
that's covered by a checksum!
