The last post in this thread, added today, is by someone who claims to have solved the problem. It has to do with the previous build of tcl. There is a file called tclConfig.sh which I have installed in /tools/lib, but which apparently is sometimes missing.

"The missing tclConfig.sh shows up during the compiling
of tcl.Just before the file should be created there is a 'waiting time'. No build error of tcl shows up during compiling. If this file was created i could build several times expect with no error. If this file was lacking, expect fails and points as well to glibc inconsistencies."

Weird... tclConfig.sh is created from tclConfig.sh.in by top level configure,
then used by subdirectories configure. If it were not created, all those
configure should complain. Well; we should have a bank of errors and possible
causes...
