Thanks for the report. This _must_ be fixed before BLFS-6.3 release, because it 
is very likely to be a security hole (ability to inject arbitrary TCL code into 
any TCL program by just putting some files in the old build dir).

And before the sed goes into the book, we should figure out why the offending 
path ended up in the TCL_LIBRARY variable and the scripts (i.e.: fix the root 
of 
the problem instead of post-processing the consequences).
