For both -O -S and -O -S -fPIC, the compiler generates:
getlocaladdr:
lis r3, %hiadj(localvar)
addi r3, r3, %lo(localvar)

getglobaladdr:
lis r3, %hiadj(globalvar)
addi r3, r3, %lo(globalvar)

Thanks, that looks plain and simple. (Not that I understand how that
code can ever be position independent.)
Also, looking at mode1o.asm, it looks like it chooses between table-lookup
via LEA and computing the number arithmetically. If we can't get a generic
version of LEA for PPC, maybe you could have it default to the arithmetic
version.
That might be a workarond for mode1o.asm, but I think it is better to
add handling of the conventions you've encountered.
