The cygwin distro does not include any cross compilation tools. A package that require tools not in the distro would not be accepted. The package is actually build with native cygwin gcc+binutils. The related discussion+patches are already on this list, e.g: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00238.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00237.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00174.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00161.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00160.html > ...

I use the cygwin version of GRUB2 on two Windows+Linux work PC. It is IMO useful to install+maintain boot manager from cygwin bash when Windows is the main work OS.
