We can't do much about this problem without changing archive format for x86_64. I suppose that is a possibility. If you just want an archive for packaging purposes as distinct from using the archive as a linker input, then you can work around this problem by disabling the armap with ar's S option. I'm closing this bug report as invalid since the archive format simply doesn't support such large archives. Please take any discussion (patches!) regarding changing archive format to the binutils list.
