I've been doing some work with MSYS2, which is like msys with the big difference that it uses a ported pacman and makepkg PKGBUILD build scripts, and as such can produce valid arch linux packages.
I've noticed that some mingw-w64 packages can't easily be cross-compiled due to oddities in the particular package's build process, for example, mingw-w64-ruby. I've a suggestion, that one could compile these troublesome packages under MSYS2 for use in archlinux.
I'd be more than willing to assist, if this is an agreeable arrangement for you.
