I'm not sure that's feasible. At least for x86, global addresses can be folded in ways that mean the linker cannot relax them. You can go the other way, though. If we start by assuming all data is imported, you can often relax an __imp_sym load to a LEA sym(%rip). This increases register pressure and generates worse code, but it has conceivable use cases.
