This program header shows:
FileSize: 0x4c98
MemSize: 0x000000006ae482b0 (~1,7 GB)

So Valgrind is interpreting this file correctly.
I have no idea why this file wants to allocate ~1,7 GB of bss.
If that is even remotely correct than Valgrind built as-is cannot map
this ELF file at an absolute address.

You can work around this problem by redefining Valgrind's load address
to a higher one.
It's currently 0x58000000 (check with the SEGMENT OUTPUT from previous
conversation).
Right before it there is a free address space of ~1344m. You need to
enlarge this to be big
enough to accommodate for your large BSS segment.
Have a look at configure.ac (run ./autogen.sh && ./configure).

if that works for you, you can submit a patch to have Valgrind's load
address configurable with configure, for example.
And also supply a better error message and diagnostics about this
problem next time.
