Ok, I uninstalled locally built grub and installed both grub and
grub-efi-amd64
from ubuntu, then again booted from USB stick in EFI mode and entered
chroot.
This time grub-install would not recognize the --target command line option:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
root@ubuntu:/# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=Ubuntu
Unrecognized option `--target=x86_64-efi'
Usage: grub-install [OPTION] install_device
Install GRUB on your drive.
-h, --help print this message and exit
-v, --version print the version information and exit
--root-directory=DIR install GRUB images under the directory DIR
instead of the root directory
--grub-shell=FILE use FILE as the grub shell
--no-floppy do not probe any floppy drive
--force-lba force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy
BIOS
--recheck probe a device map even if it already exists
INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.
grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by
--root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the boot
sector.

at this point I decided to run grub-install from the locally built
directory, it did accept --target command line option, but still complained
about /usr/local/lib/grub/x86_64_efi/modinfo.sh not existing, so I mapped
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64_efi into /usr/local/lib/grub and at that point
grub-install invocation finally succeeded and created that path in
/boot/efi you mentioned earlier.
I am still at loss though - what do I do next, to get Windows showing as
an entry in the grub boot menu?
thank you,
