Where the initial load address is getting set ?

You are doing this backward.  You need to load the
image into memory at a higher address like 0x400000.
According to this message, you are loading at 0x180000.
Don't change the relocation address for the build, just
the address where you initially load it into memory.

Originally I had relocation address be 0x00400000;
I also tried 0x00500000 and finally 0x00600000 (shown below)
- all 3 cases give the same error.
