Thanks for your suggestion, it does sound reasonable to me. I could only 
find tcl header files in /usr/local/include and I did rename them so that 
gcc would not be able to find them. Sadly this did not make any change, I 
get exactly the same output. I suppose there is not a generic set of 
flags for gcc on netbsd so I can check weather freebsd/openbsd options 
work... 

Thank you.
