I'm using GRUB on Cygwin since 'somewhat' before I announced the first
patch 2007-10-16:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-10/msg00071.html
This version used the hack in grub's ELF-loader already discussed. It
also contained some non Cygwin related fixes found during testing.
The grub2 package in the Cygwin distro from 2008-03-30 was based on this
private branch merged to 1.96+epsilon.

I don't know.
Waiting until someone fixes BFD or maintains a Linux cross-compiler
package for Cygwin (which cannot be build OOTB, it requires build steps
on Linux) may last until time_t wraps around and is IMO not an option
:-)
Even the isolation of grub-pe2elf in a separate package would not help
much, because the linker script and some support in the build system
would be still needed in the grub2 tree.
