Looks like it's a generic warning so that tcl is isolated from system
upgrades.

Response from devs on IRC:
"simply put, you don't control the system sqlite or when it gets
upgraded or possibly breaking the interfaces you're using."

So TCL could be switched to use --with-system-sqlite.

I'll follow up with a new patch later this week.
