Glibc build generates header files to define constants from special .sym
files.  If a .sym file includes the same header file which it generates,
it leads to circular dependency.  Define GEN_AS_CONST_HEADERS when
generating header files to avoid circular dependency.

<tcb-offsets.h> is needed for i686 and it isn't needed for x86-64 at
least since glibc 2.23.

Tested on i686 and x86-64.

OK for trunk?

It looks to me that a cleaner fix would be to move the definition of the 
TCB types to a separate header.

The circular dependency is just a cosmetic warning from make, right?

Thanks,
Florian

I will take a look.

It depends on how unlucky you are.  In one case on a many-core machine
with make -j60, I had to kill glibc build since it never stopped.

sysdeps/i386/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym has

#include <sysdep.h>
#include <tls.h>
#include <kernel-features.h>

RESULT offsetof (struct pthread, result)
TID offsetof (struct pthread, tid)
CANCELHANDLING offsetof (struct pthread, cancelhandling)
CLEANUP_JMP_BUF offsetof (struct pthread, cleanup_jmp_buf)
MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET offsetof (tcbhead_t, multiple_threads)
SYSINFO_OFFSET offsetof (tcbhead_t, sysinfo)
CLEANUP offsetof (struct pthread, cleanup)
CLEANUP_PREV offsetof (struct _pthread_cleanup_buffer, __prev)
MUTEX_FUTEX offsetof (pthread_mutex_t, __data.__lock)
POINTER_GUARD offsetof (tcbhead_t, pointer_guard)
#ifndef __ASSUME_PRIVATE_FUTEX
PRIVATE_FUTEX offsetof (tcbhead_t, private_futex)
#endif

It covers more than just tcbhead_t.  A separate header file for tcbhead_t
won't help here.

Yes, it's more involved.

If it fixes an actual build issue, then I think your patch is 
acceptable, although I consider it quite hackish.

But please do add a comment explaining the issue before:

+# ifndef GEN_AS_CONST_HEADERS

Thanks,
Florian

Agreed, I think the hack is OK, but needs a multi-line comment
explaining *why* the simple route of header disentanglement
is not easily possible and why this is needed to bootstrap
the automatic header building without a circular dependency.

This is the patch I am checking in.
