don't assume pointer cast to unsigned long is a valid initializer

It doesn't work with EABI, as Richard Sandiford pointed out,
confirming my recollection that it didn't really work on mips64-elf
except when sizeof(long)==sizeof(void*).  Since this patch introduces
a regression, I propose that we revert it according to the
patch-reversal rules, and on the grounds that it didn't follow the
rules for modifying testcases.

I bet it won't work on h8300-elf, since it seems to have 16-bit
pointers and 32-bit longs.  There are probably others like this.
