[Bug c/28196] New: miscompiled initialization of a constant pointer reference with offset (ppc64 target)

[inbox at b-q-c dot com]

The following code is miscompiled when using -m64 (=ppc64) target:

const static double a = 1.0;
const static double *b = (double*)&a - 1;

&b[1] should be &a, but it's not - there is an additional offset of 0x10000
