Ok, testing revealed a problem.
With
#ifdef USE_TLS
MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET offsetof (struct _pthread_descr_struct, p_header.data.multiple_threads) - sizeof (struct _pthread_descr_struct)
#else
MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET offsetof (tcbhead_t, multiple_threads)
#endif
in the .sym file we try to compile
#ifdef USE_TLS
void dummy(void) {
asm ("@@@name@@@MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET@@@value@@@%0@@@end@@@" : : "i" (something));
#else
asm ("@@@name@@@MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET@@@value@@@%0@@@end@@@" : : "i" (somethingelse));
#endif
}
which means a syntax error if USE_TLS is not defined.
This can be either solved by adding some dummy never used define, say
TCB_OFFSET_DUMMY 0
#ifdef USE_TLS
...
or by the following change (which I've bootstrapped/regtested on IA-64
with both --with-tls --without-__thread and --without-tls --without-__thread).

	* scripts/gen-as-const.awk: Pass // comments through after starting
	dummy function.
linuxthreads/
	* sysdeps/ia64/tls.h (tcbhead_t): Use the TLS ABI required layout
	if USE_TLS only.
	(NONTLS_INIT_TP): Revert last change.
	* sysdeps/ia64/tcb-offsets.sym (MULTIPLE_THREADS_OFFSET): Define to
	offsetof (tcbhead_t, multiple_threads) if USE_TLS not defined.
