These are not fatal. You can igore them.

First check that you have unzipped the test files without any
end-of-line conversion. The test suite does a binary diff of the
output. rapper/raptor-produced output has LF line endings and binary
diffing them fails if the reference output files (*.out) are converted
to CRLF line endings.

Default cygwin installations come with the "dos2unix" utility which
you can use to convert CRLF line endings to LF.

If this doesn't help, please provide some "make check" output from tests/turtle.
