AFAIAC, this is regrettable but it is not a problem.  There is no requirement that you
have to use cygwin-only tools to build the package. As long as you include everything
you need to build it with whatever tools are required, that should be ok.

However, if the above is the only thing standing in the way of getting cygwin tools
to work, maybe a binutils change would be possible.
