Yes.  I got confused about exactly what to parameterize where. :-(

What it boils down to is having default_assemble_integer return false 
for all values greater than sizeof (int32_t).

(Another advantage of this, by the way, is that it would eliminate a 
difference in the generated code that comes purely from whether or not 
GCC is configured with a 64-bit HOST_WIDE_INT.  At present, a 64-bit 
host will generate .8byte directives, while a 32-bit host will generate 
two .4byte directives, given the same input.  It seems to me that the 
code generated should purely be a function of the target.)
