The patch looks good to me, however I can't approve it.

You're right, eventhough -mpc-relative-literal-loads doesn't make much sense
in the large memory model, it seems best to keep the option orthogonal to
enable the workaround. I've prepared a patch to fix this on trunk/GCC7.
It also adds a test which we should add to your changes to GCC6 too.
