Doesn't Juri's recipe from Bug#37609 work?  Start with

emacs -Q -f tool-bar-mode

and use some function that enables 'tool-bar-mode'.

Shouldn't on a TTY the tab bar behave just like the menu bar?

Which difficulty?  I doubt it's the one that GTK auto-widens frames
when the tool bar gets too large.

Now that you mention it, yes.

I've nowhere seen any code that would tell otherwise.
