OK, now I think I see what you're trying to do.  You're trying to
reserve the address space of interest in your (non-pie) executable,
and get a PT_LOAD header but haven't put any contents in your fake
section so get zeros for p_vaddr etc.  Try the following.

  TSTSTART = 0x0f850000;
  .tststart TSTSTART : ALIGN (0x10000)
  {
     . = 0x23456;
  } :tststart

Replace the 0x23456 with the length you need.
