The first (and last) grub package released in the Cygwin distribution

Great!
As for the loader issue, did you find a way to generate images in ELF format
from the Cygwin system?
Yes of course - the Cygwin grub package compiles OOTB and works :-)
objcopy is used to convert PE to ELF:

Due to issues in BFD, objcopy produces ELF with invalid pc-relative
relocation. This is compensated by a hack in the loader:
