You know that this is impossible, do you?

The underlying system is using two byte line endings and there
has to be a method to disallow CRLF <-> LF translation for
reading binary files in contrast to text files.

On the other hand I don't understand where the problem is.
The O_BINARY usage in the patch is transparent to all
other operating systems and many parts of the sources contain
special code for different OSes like HPUX, Solaris, NeXT etc.
