Define GEN_AS_CONST_HEADERS when generating header files [BZ #22792]
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 which may lead to build hang on a many-core machine. 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. [BZ #22792] * Makerules ($(common-objpfx)%.h): Pass -DGEN_AS_CONST_HEADERS to $(CC). * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/lowlevellock.h: Include <tcb-offsets.h> only if GEN_AS_CONST_HEADERS isn't defined. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.h: Don't include <tcb-offsets.h>.
