You could probably get what you want by building a cross-binutils. Get the binutils source and build with "./configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-linux". Then build memtest with "./configure --target=i686-pc-linux" which should cause it to use the 'i686-pc-linux-as' you just built instead of Cygwin's 'as' which doesn't grok ELF. If memtest has more than just assembly files (i.e. C code too) you'd probably need to build a cross-gcc as well. The whole crosscompiler business is better covered elsewhere, as it's not Cygwin-specific.
