I could not reproduce this.

Is the Cygwin PATH correct, such that the Cygwin tools /usr/bin/make, 
/usr/bin/install ... are actually used during build?

Where do those 'elf binaries' come from? The Cygwin gcc toolchain cannot 
produce elf binaries. That's why grub-pe2elf exists to convert the *.mod 
files to ELF format.

Yes, that is correct and should IMO be fixed in the future.
