This is implemented for Cygwin and MinGW according to the old changelog:

  * ltmain.in (find_executable, check_executable) [cygwin*, mingw*]:
  binary wrapper used with uninstalled executables breaks when
  invoked via execlp/execvp (that is, via $PATH).  Handle that case.
  (fnqualify): Subsumed into find_executable.


I have committed your patch to the development branch:
