Hmmm.... so have I, and I was stumped too, I'm afraid. It depends on the size of headers in a particular library.
I do not know of a way to resize them after the fact. Anyone else?
If it's a library whose build you control, you could try to give it a large -headerpad value at link (look in man ld), that's at least worth a try.
Do you know which library it is? Is it open-sourced? I may give it a shot in that case.
