Would it be possible to coax your tar implementation to author files
with less extreme GIDs.

The current ones (4294967295) lead to massive amounts of console spam on
operating systems where IDs are uint16_t (mingw) or int32_t (assorted
BSD).

On mingw - tar: Archive value 4294967295 is out of gid_t range 0..65535

I did not try building it yet, but I felt that this is a good time to
mention this niggle that has been plaguing me for many releases.
