Hi,
The installer for Archive::Extract::Libarchive seems to include:
inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm
However, the version of CheckLib.pm included is missing a patch that allows it to be installed on Cygwin:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=91771
Specifically:
diff --git a/lib/Devel/CheckLib.pm b/lib/Devel/CheckLib.pm
index f80ca22..8581039 100644
--- a/lib/Devel/CheckLib.pm
+++ b/lib/Devel/CheckLib.pm

my @cc = split(/\s+/, $Config{cc});
return ( [ @cc, @ccflags ], \@ldflags ) if -x $cc[0];
foreach my $path (@paths) {
- my $compiler = File::Spec->catfile($path, $cc[0]) . $Config{_exe};

return ([ $compiler, @cc[1 .. $#cc], @ccflags ], \@ldflags)

}
Perhaps the inclusion of this module would allow for the installation of the module on Cygwin.
