I think the complaint is that we need it to still look like $@ when
TCL_SHLIB_LD is used in the shlib-building rule. If Make recursively
expands the variable before executing the $shell construct then we
got trouble.

Ugly as it is, the check on portname may be the best solution available.
I'm gonna think a little more, but I haven't got a better idea now.
