To ignore the ANSI format between PC and UNIX I simply selected the Rules-based comparison from the Folder Compare - Session Settings window (Session>Session Settings>Comparison). Note the version of beyond compare I am using is Version 3.3.7 (build 15876):

Can you check the session settings (In the menu under Settings -> Session Settings) if you compare also the line endings?

If you need a pre-check in folder compare you can use the following settings:

You need the overwrite quick test results. Without this the other checks return already a result. With this, your comparison will need more time.
