Hello!
Is *ANY* of the compiler packages in the Cygwin package repository
capable of building Windows kernel modules, including SEH2 exceptions

I doubt it, if you mean specifically cygwin, since it's a library
designed to provide a POSIX interface to programs, making it easier
to port them from Linux platforms. It does have ways to call a
number of Windows functions, but that's not what it was primarily
designed to do.
However, MSYS2 *might* be more likely since it is designed to
support more of a native Windows interface. I couldn't say
concerning kernel modules - that might be the deal breaker.
I am not expert on these things, but have been on the mailing list
for over 20 years - you pick up some things :-) ...
