ld testsuite tcl trouble: can't read "flags": no such variable

["Andreas K. Huettel" <dilfridge at gentoo dot org>]

Hi, 

I'm currently trying to "fix" the testsuite so it runs properly in spite of 
our Gentoo patches (which I inherited). One thing I keep seeing is the 
following tcl errors - any advice what could be causing that, or how to make 
sense of them?

Changing tcl (8.5.17, 8.6.6, 8.6.7) or dejagnu (1.4.4, 1.6), version seems to 
have no effect.

TIA, 
Andreas
