I think issues with this would be better discussed on the glibc
mailing lists or the cygwin mailing lists.

This looks like you are compiling a file for the target system with
the build system compiler, an assumption which is supported by the
error messages. It fails because the file contains assembler
statements; they should be assembled by an ELF assembler, but instead
are being assembled by the build system COFF/PE assembler which does
not recognize them.
This is in no way a binutils bug. I would guess that the problem is
in the glibc build system, and that there is some bug related to
building with a cross-compiler.
