No, the "normal" linking order doesn't work on cygwin; 
bootstrap-emacs.exe gets built, but it hangs when trying to byte compile 
the .el files.  What about turning the question around?  Would the 
linking order that works on cygwin also work on other platforms?  Or is 
it safer to just leave this alone?
