Can you prevent x32 to generate DImode symbols? No, since Pmode is still in
DImode and DImode addresses are *valid* addresses. For the testcase from PR,
expand generates SImode symbol that is later extended to DImode and handled
through movabs.

Your patch just papers over this fact. Assembler should put correctly
zero-extended symbol at the relocation site.
