I added a couple extra sanity checks to parseelfimage which should make
this patch unnecessary:
1. Ensure VIRT_BASE is specified if ELF_PADDR_OFFSET is specified.
2. Ensure that VIRT_BASE is less than kernel virtual load address.

I did a few tests and everything seems to be fine now. I am not able to
get the builder to segfault. Hopefully this has been laid to rest now
:-).

Thanks,
