OK, here's a patch that does it that way.  Because some of the needed
header files in turn depend on a symbol from offsets.h, I had to
create a dummy one `by hand' if it didn't previously exist.
A timestamp file, include/asm-ia64/.offsets.h.stamp, tracks when this
was done so that 'make' after 'make clean' works; and 'make' after
'make' works.
