Newer binutils got a flag after a discussion about this and related
issues in NetBSD. It basically stores 0 for the uid/gid/time fields.
This also came up recently in the context of producing static libraries
from object files with large uid's (such as in AFS). A couple of patches
to ar(1) and libarchive were bandied about, though I don't think Tim
Kientzle has committed any of them, yet.
(As it turns out, I may also need to patch ranlib(1) in order to get a
complete buildworld in my large-uid environment, and possibly other
things.)
