I confirmed, using Git, that this is the only problematic file when
checking out head on Windows.

On stable/9, lib/libc/gen/aux.c is the only problem.  If someone is
interested, r239193 could be MFC'd.

On stable/8, some files under share/doc/psd/15.yacc are the only
problem.  r210167 could be MFC'd.
