MODE is the mode of operands[1] before:
operands[1] = force_const_mem (mode, operands[1]);
and after. But the test is on the address of the MEM, not on the MEM itself:
if (TARGET_TOC
&& GET_CODE (XEXP (operands[1], 0)) == SYMBOL_REF
&& use_toc_relative_ref (XEXP (operands[1], 0), Pmode))
because it's the mode of SYMBOL_REF we are interesting in (and force_const_mem
guarantees that it's Pmode). IOW you could theoretically have mode == SImode
and we would still need to pass Pmode to use_toc_relative_ref (of course the
whole thing is guarded with mode == Pmode so that's a little artificial).
