While compiling a SWT example on windows i realized that the shell does restrict the commandline length to a maximum of 8192 characters.
For that one can use a response file.
But the problem still exists, because the linker gave errors about a unknown object file. It seems, dmd calls the linker with a shell-like call, and this parameter are also shrinked to 8192 characters.
Probably it can be fixed to also use a parameter file internally.

Increased Severity, because it breaks the build process for projects getting bigger.
