I ran this again using --devel-trace to get a bit more information, and found
out that actually there's no error.  The "dwz: Multifile temporary files too
large" message is a warning, telling the user in a _very_ indirect way that dwz
switches off multifile optimization and will continue to process the remaining
files in single-file mode.

This is part of a larger issue in dwz where both warnings and errors are
generated using a call to 'error', and consequently it's not immediately clear
from the source code which is an error and which is a warning.

Furthermore, in write_multifile when running into this warning we immediately
return with return value 1, suggesting that processing is stopped, but the
return value is actually ignored.
