(3. link with binmode.o)
'od' should probably be using #1 or #2 already though, if not that's
easy enough to fix I'd think.
The poster also had a qustion about the 'expand' utility writing
NL-terminated files, when the mount was textmode. That sounded like a
bug to me also, but I don't really know how the rules for text mounts
are supposed to work on writes, or how 'expand' calls open().
