This is because tclconfig/tcl.m4 does not define DL_OBJS when $system is
GNU (line 1269), which in turn is checked for being non-null on line
1730 and if so, the above error (`Can't figure out how to do dynamic
loading or shared libraries on this system.') is spewed out, and the
shared library Makefile variables like SHLIB_LD are set to "".
Just defining DL_OBJS to "tclLoadDl.o" (as is done for most other
systems) makes the build go fine (and tclLoadDl.o does not seem to get
defined in the resulting Makefile anyway), but I am not sure whether
this is the right solution.
Also, this should probably also get fixed in a TCL package higher up the
stack?
Note that this package FTBFSing makes python2.3 go into dep-wait, which
in turn makes most other python packages FTBFS as python currently has a
versioned Depends on a version of python2.3 which has not (and currently
can not) been built on hurd-i386.
So in case you're busy right now (with the conference and all) but think
the attached patch should be fine, I'm happy to NMU tix if you want.
cheers,
Michael
