We ran into similar problems in the past. It only seems to be a matter
of the code nearby and the exact options to trigger it.
The alternative is manually loading the address using la / dla which
defeats gcc's splitting of address loading. And having to use different
code for 32-bit and 64-bit sucks.

Wrong, breaks 64-bit and uses $2 without telling gcc about it.
