Looking at http://cldr.unicode.org/index/download, I see it called 36.1

The fact that the upstream filename contains '36-1' alone doesn't seem 
sufficient to grant an exception.

Maybe I am mistaken, but looking at the filelists in 
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/unicode-cldr-emoji-annotation.html, 
package unicode-cldr-emoji-annotation contains 
/usr/share/pkgconfig/cldr-emoji-annotation.pc
