The file in question should be generated with:

copy /y krb5\krb5.h+k5-int.h+krb5\clpreauth_plugin.h $@

So, that makes me wonder what sort of line endings are in the input files for copy.exe 
(krb5\krb5.h and friends) -- what procedure did you use to get the krb5 checkout on your 
windows machine?  I have been going through VMware shared folders, something like 'git 
archive|(cd /share; tar x)' and then just copying the tree using Windows Explorer.  I would 
imagine that using a native windows git client would have different line-endings behavior, 
depending on that git client's configuration.
