Clearly it has more effects than that... as the code does reveal:
/* Avoid (%rip) for call operands. */
if (CONSTANT_ADDRESS_P (x) && code == 'P'
&& !CONST_INT_P (x))
That should work... in the probably extremely rare case that any of
these references go to global addresses then they spend an extra byte
(and a little more work during kASLR relocation or module insertion).
