No, this is not due to a limit, rather it is some unfortunate consequence
of layout and default choices.
Non-PIE binaries must be loaded at the fixed address. PIE binaries,
which rtld pretends to be, are not. The loading address for PIE in
non-ASLR mode is fixed per-arch, and it is not too far away from the
default linking address of non-PIE.
As result, it is possible for sufficiently large non-PIE binary to
extend into already allocated range from rtld. We use MAP_FIXED |
MAP_EXCL to avoid destroying existing mappings in linker, which fails
when pre-allocating the space for whole future mappings of the object.
I believe this is what happens in your case.
I think that we finally should make the fixed PIE loading address a tunable.
