GDAL uses by default its internal libtiff and supports BigTIFF, for a
couple of years in its stable versions. If you installed gdal with the
package manager of your Linux version, you would need to file a bug
report for your Linux version or compile GDAL yourself from source
with the default options for GTiff. If you compiled GDAL from source,
you may need to update to the latest stable version and compile with
the default options for GTiff.
