You can't. 

Moreover, -taso on DU doesn't give you 32-bit pointers either.  It
just makes sure that you can cast to int and back without problem.

What you're thinking of is -taso-short, which requires all system
headers to be specially annotated so that we get a mix of 32-bit
and 64-bit pointers.  GCC will probably never support multiple
simultaneous pointer sizes -- it is a whale load of work.
