The rtl level does introduce an address overflow but the semantics of plus is defined to be wrapping so there is no overflow.   This is blocking me from testing ilp32 under gnu/Linux as ld.so gets miscompiled and stack addresses have the "sign" bit set.

Pmode is dimode while ptr_mode is simode.  Pointers are zero extended when converting between si and di modes.
