Nope. It does not. Tested on three versions of binutils:

[davide@bigblue davide]$ as << EOF
> PG=0xC0000000
> VM=(128 << 20)
> .long (-PG - VM) - 1

[davide@bigblue davide]$ objdump -D a.out 

a.out:     file format elf32-i386

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:
   0:   ff                      (bad)  
   1:   ff                      (bad)  
   2:   ff 37                   pushl  (%edi)
   4:   ff                      (bad)  
   5:   ff                      (bad)  
   6:   ff 37                   pushl  (%edi)
Disassembly of section .data:


Also, most important, the `make bzImage` does not give any warnings.
