Sorry, I should have looked properly at what you were trying to do
before my first reply..  AT in PHDRS specifies the load address of
the segment, but doesn't change the load address of sections
assigned to that segment.  No doubt your section load addresses are a
long way from 0x81000000, so the segment contains a lot of zeros.
