            Bug ID: 234454
           Summary: ar produces corrupt .a archive when >4GB
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org
            Blocks: 233094

Our ar (usr.bin/ar) only supports the 32-bit symbol table format, not the
64-bit /SYM64/ format, and silently truncates symbol offsets >4GB.

At the very least we should exit with an error in this case, but we should
really support /SYM64/.
