Besides GRUB2 build, ELF probably support provides no additional
benefit. There are still a lot of open issues to get gcc 4.x working on
Cygwin. Therefore it IMO does not make sense to request such additional
feature now.

I have submitted a patch to fix the PE->ELF relocation info conversion
in objcopy. It was rejected upstream.
