As far as I recalled cgf's announcement about 20021218-1 tcltk release ( http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-12/msg00992.html ) and the thread you've taken part, there _still_ are problems with tcl/tk autoconf stuff. They were emphasized by Chuck Wilson, and cgf admitted to discuss them only on insight mail-list.

The lack of tcl/tk autoconf (which includes the presence of non-standard paths in tclConfig.sh/tkConfig.sh) for cygwin, leads to wrong Makefile/Makefile.tcldefs for pltcl. I usually managed to bypass this by manually running gcc linking line and completing the missing parts.
