I just noticed this myself. Since we now use the same configury as the
standard Tcl and Tk (the installation dir tweak aside), I would say this
is a problem with Tk configury upstream.
Nonetheless, it seems to me that we should be able to fix this
ourselves. Have you tried making configure-tk depend on all-tcl? I doubt
that it would work (at least on Cygwin) without some more tweaking...
I haven't looked at it any, though.
