There's been no forward progress on this.  If you're comfortable getting the 
util-linux source package through Cygwin setup*.exe, you can follow the steps 
shown in https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-March/039855.html to 
build (with cygport) a local copy of util-linux that includes a taskset.exe you 
can move into /usr/local/bin, for example.

You might try that route if you're up for it.  Feel free to ask questions here 
if you hit a snag.
HTH,
