Hello,

An issue with XS modules configure for mingw (on cygwin) using Bruno CI
https://github.com/gnu-texinfo/ci-check

In tp/Texinfo/XS/configure.ac, we use perl -V:var to get information on
Perl configuration for the var.  The perl output in that case has ^M
carriage returns at end of lines.  This prevents the configure script to
work correctly.  We parse perl -V:var output using a sed script.  It
would be easy to add
  s/\r//
to remove carriage returns.  However, I fear that it could break some
native builds that expect carriage returns at end of lines.

The symptom of this issue are line like that in tp/Texinfo/XS/configure
run output, while previous lines do not have a ^M:
checking Perl configuration value cc... gcc';^M

Is this issue also happening with native builds?  Would it be safe to
always remove carriage returns?
