I expect that you could get correct results by transforming the
rtl such that you have DImode symbols/labels, and the DImode
arithmetic surrounding.

I *suspect* that this will work on any target that supports 
multiple pointer modes, regardless of the form of the extension.
All it requires is that there be a 64-bit relocation, which is
pretty much a given if the larger pointer exists at all.
