    There's got to be a better way to handle this situation.  Why can't
    reload just use the right expander?

What's "right"?  If an addition needs a scratch register (it was said
that it had a CLOBBER), the only way to produce that is via the secondary
reloads.  The approach above sounds exactly correct.
