That's a newish sanity check in libmagic tripping up, added in https://github.com/file/file/commit/e1233247bbe4d2d66b891224336a23384a93cce1

The commit message says to limit to 128M but the limit added in the code is 64M :-/

Do we know why the notes section is so darn large in the first place?

Adding nickc to the CC because I suspect this might be annobin (if not, sorry Nick).

This is also related to this debugedit bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1609013
[RFE] find-debuginfo.sh should use a reliable, dedicated ELF file id tool, not rely on parsing 'file' output
We have the elfutils eu-elfclassify tool, which probably is more approriate than using file.

Oh - it almost certainly is annobin's fault.  As noted in this PR:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29993

The annobin notes in libxul.so are ~118MB.  (This is before they are processed
by objcopy to remove duplicates, and before they are shifted into the associated
debuginfo file).

I am not sure if this helps you though.  If necessary it is possible to build
things with annobin disabled, although I would not actually recommend it unless
there is no other solution.

Fix seems to be on the way with https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/file/pull-request/22

Not sure if 128MB is future proof, it's still quite near that Firefox 118.9MB, and Thunderbird even 122.3MB ...

This is still present in recent builds of mame even with the recent fix:
