Thanks Alan for the response. I changed the value to a 32-bit one and
the problem persists.

PHDRS {
    text PT_LOAD AT(0x81000000) FLAGS(7);   /* RWX */
    note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4);  /* R__ */
}

Entry point address:               0xc00050b0
Start of program headers:      52 (bytes into file)
Start of section headers:        1069094904 (bytes into file)

The binary referred to in the problem is linux kernel.

thank you,
Prasad.
