Might all this be made simpler by marking the SYMBOL_REF in some manner
(if SYMBOL_REF_FLAG is already taken, then ENCODE_SECTION_INFO can be used).

Then we can avoid the whole UNSPEC nonsense, at least for PIC references to
constant addresses.  Which in turn ought to avoid the need to bastardize
dwarf2out to handle this kind of stuff.
