In /etc/sysconfig/kdump file, there is "KEXEC_OPTIONS" and I guess
that you can do it if adding "--elf64-core-headers" to this item.

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
## ServiceRestart:      kdump
#
# Additional arguments passed to kexec.  For example, to generate
# ELF32 dump on x86-64 to allow i386 systems to read dump, set
# "--elf32-core-headers" here.
#
# Keep this empty in most cases.
#
KEXEC_OPTIONS=""
