RealView Linker crashes at absolute address?

I am having difficulty with the RealView linker crashing when trying to link variables to absolute addresses above ~ 0x70000000. For example, here is three different methods I've tried (trying to achieve the same thing) that cause the linker to crash:

#include <absacc.h>

// Crash Method 1
//#pragma arm section rwdata = ".ARM.__AT_0xE01FC040"
//volatile unsigned long memmap;
//#pragma arm section rwdata

// Crash Method 2
//volatile __attribute__((section(".ARM.__AT_0xE01FC040"))) unsigned long memmap;

// Crash Method 3
volatile unsigned long memmap __at (0xE01FC040);

int main(void)
{
    while(1);
}

-thanks, Kevin
