So, from my limited point of view straightforward way to guarantee that would be to build incoming elf in 32-bit mode (it is why I mentioned COMPAT/ILP32). Also one of your patches expressed somewhat related idea "binfmt_flat isn't the right binary format for huge executables to start with" Since you said there is no support for compat/ilp32, probably I'm missing some toolchain magic?
