libbsd.a library. On msys2 this leads to an "Argument list too long" error
during library creation. Is there a way to fix this in waf, e.g. you can
pass the files to GNU ld via an input file instead of the argument list?

Yes. I recall two direct ways.

+ @XXX where XXX is a file containing the rest.of the command line
arguments. I don't know how universally this is supported by the GNU tools
by i am pretty sure gcc and binutils support it.

+ Generate a linker script with INPUT directives for.each file.

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/gnu.gcc.help/E6STugqy2hQ shows
the latter. But there are examples out there using the @.
