Perhaps. For a 32-bit address, I'd expect the address generation to be
simply lui/addiu, or similar. (in fact, for this, you only need the
lui.)
The only time i'd expect gas would be bothering with shifts at all
is for 64-bit addresses. (but that's intuition speaking, rather than
code examination.)
