I built a minimal libarchive, no acl/xattr, only zlib, primarily to cut back on the size, but also to avoid pulling stuff that might not be available on every system, so you might want to try this too:
Code:
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-xattr --disable-acl --with-zlib --without-bz2lib --without-lzmadec --without-iconv --without-lzma --without-nettle --without-expat --without-xml2
(libarchive also supports the cmake build system, but the deps seem to be 'automagic' there, so a bit more painful to fine tune...). |
Since libarchive is a BSD project/package, you have been swimming upstream. (It is the library behind bsdtar.)

Since OS X is much, much closer to BSD than Linux ever will be, you will be swimming downstream here. You already did the hard part (above).
I wouldn't worry to much about Cygwin support.
