Well, this looks ok. Any particular reason you passed a --host option here?

Humm, I would think that should be looking in ../tcl8.1/win, but I
am not sure if it matters.

Well, this is not right. It should be checking in tcl8.1/win not the
unix subdir. Me thinks something has gone wrong in tcl8.1/configure.in
where it selects either the unix subdir or the win subdir based on the
--host setting.

Go into your $build/tcl8.1 dir and run this grep:
grep CONFIGDIR config.status

You should get a result like:
s%@CONFIGDIR@%win%g

If you get "unix" instead of "win" then that is the problem. You could try
to not pass a --host option and see if that makes any diff.
