Why don't you just download builds for Window? You don't have to build it yourself.

@ OP: You'll likely want to use mingw as a cross compiler. Depending on your distro (not sure about arch), you'll need to compile your toolchain yourself for that or just add some 3rd party repository and install the package from there.
I doubt anyone around here knows about the details, but some googling should help you pretty quickly on how to set up a cross compiling environment.

That said, I'm not sure Dolphin actually compiles via MingW. If you have any issues, post them here and I'll try to help you as much as I can, but I can't guarantee anything.

Anyway, if all you want to do is emulating stuff, there's no real reason to compile stuff yourself... If you're sure that's not what you want thought, let's keep this thread on topic.
