You might not have much luck building bash as a standalone executable for windows since it relies on some posix functionality that windows does not have, hence Msys2 Cygwin posix libraries are needed and unfortunatly those only come as a dll. There was an old project called downhill which emulated enough of the posix library to make stuff such as bash work without the dll on windows, unfortuanatly development on downhill was halted over a decade ago, and the only bash that was ported to windows using it was the old bash-3.0.
You could pick up the source code for downhill from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/files/unxutils/current/UnxUtilsSrc.zip/download and try to get it working with later bash versions, but the source is from a time where 64 bit was not a thing so if you intend to do a 64 bit windows bash expect a lot of work ahead of you.
