I just built with the most recent MinGW makefile build, and it works. 
Also, we have dashboards that do mingw and msys.  See these builds:

amber12.kitware	Win32-mingw-gcc-4.5
amber12.kitware	Win32-msys-gcc-4.5

Sounds to me it is the windows.h that comes with wine maybe.  Really you 
should just debug this and find the issue.  Run make help in 
Utilities/cmlibarchive/libarchive.  You will see file.i.  targets you 
want this one: archive_read.i

That will create a cpp processed version of the file. Then you need to 
grep around the files that are included and find the problem.
