When I'm faced with a program trying to link some unknown missing
library, the first thing I do is remove it and see if there really are
any unresolved symbols.  On all the Linux boxes here, libbsd.a contains
a single symbol named "__dummy__".  I'm betting you can just remove
-lbsd with no ill effects.
