I think you misunderstood something about the freedesktop.org MIME system: the 
common archive with the most common MIME types (and the main MIME type 
utility) is available under the name of shared-mime-info[1]. You need to have 
that, since 6 weeks or so (otherwise you would not even start compiling 
kdelibs).
You need also to point to the XDG data directory with the mime stuff using the 
XDG_DATA_DIRS envvar. On Unix it could be eg:
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share:${shared-mime-info-prefix}/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
On Windows, try to make sure ${shared-mime-info-prefix}/share is in it.
Then run kbuildsycoca4.
