What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
1.17-rc1

(though it also applies to at least 1.16.5, and probably goes back much further)

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

I tried to link a Go program against a static WebRTC library (32MB without debug symbols). That, in combination with using the large net/http package, made Go print this error: /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/link: HEADR too small: 4408 > 4096

What did you expect to see?

I expected Go to link the binary correctly.

What did you see instead?

The aforementioned HEADR too small error.

@mortie thanks for reporting.

To take action on this issue we'll need a way to reproduce it -- can you please post detailed instructions? E.g. exact commands that you did that will trigger this problem.
