Also, it could be solved during GPC installation by copying "specs" in such a way that the source and destination directory mount types are considered.
How would one do that without writing a special installation script for GPC?
That's true, if it is desired to have "specs" have CR-LF line ends when installed in a text-mount directory and LF line ends when installed in a binary-mount directory. However, if the convenience of manipulating specs as a normal Windows text file isn't needed, then simply ensuring that it has LF line ends will work in either situation. Adding a "tr -d '\r' ..." to the GPC makefile after the specs file creation should do it.
