Indeed. This comment needs adjustment, too:
/* We never have the chance to fixup types in global initializers
during gimplification. Do so here. */
if (TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (cval)) != TREE_TYPE (TREE_OPERAND (cval, 0)))
cval = build_fold_addr_expr (TREE_OPERAND (cval, 0));
as we now sort-of do this. In fact it looks like all existing
canonicalize_constructor_val calls are subsumed by the lowering, so,
eventually remove those and move this function to a local place next
to its sole caller.
