You can try if --param max-fields-for-field-sensitive=0 improves the
situation.

Other than that, try, in 
tree-ssa-structalias.c:create_variable_info_for remove the
make_constraint_from_escaped and make_constraint_to_escaped calls for
the is_global cases.  Note that you need to adjust find_what_p_points_to
to include escaped variables if escaped_id is set in the solution and
that call clobbering will need similar adjustments (and remember
escaped_id includes all globals implicitly).  The problem with the
sipQt testcase is that it has 10000s of global vars it creates
constraints for, even though they are unused.
