There is an open issue in libarchive about this: [https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/974](https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/974)

The fix would be to add the header in `libarchive/archive_pack_dev.c`.

```cpp
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>

```

I am not hitting the warning with gcc 8 in archlinux though.
