Are you working with Sneha Ved, or is this just a coincidence ?

Anyway the same answer applies:

  "Have a look at the function "elfNN_ia64_object_p" in
   bfd/elfxx-ia64.c.  It is this function (once translated
   into elf64_ia64_object_p via the build process) that is
   supposed to be able to detect ELF64 format IA64 binary
   files."
