apparently the $(shell ...) construct expands any shell-like
vars.

from make's info file:

The `shell' function performs the same function that backquotes
(``') perform in most shells: it does "command expansion".

maybe check for a '$' in the TCL_SHLIB_LD ? I've been trying
$(findstring ...) but have not gotten that to work right yet.
