There should be an error message.  And in fact there is one, provided that you
use a sufficiently new release of the binutils:

  $ ar rc foo.a zeros.img
  ar: foo.a: Error reading zeros.img: File too big

  $ar --version
  GNU ar version 2.27-24.fc26

(That is actually a relatively old version as we on release 2.29 now...)

Cheers
  Nick
