You may not need tcl/tk, but I doubt that the undefined symbol is tcl
specific.  In other words, you may not be able to relocate and load
any binary module with this build.  Try:

cat >foo.lsp
(defun foo (x) (* x x))


gcl
>(compile-file "foo.lsp")
>(load "foo.o")

It is possible that your C library has some unique symbol naming
conventions.  For example, in glibc, certain symbols have
@@GLIBC... appended in the library, but are placed in the object
modules without this appendix.  GCL knows about this and handles these
symbols properly.  I have not run across this issue on solaris,
however.  

If you configure with --enable-debug and recompile, then run under gdb
with a breakpoint set at sfaslbfd.c:297, run and type (at the lisp
prompt) (load "gcl-tk/tkl.o"), then in gdb do 'p q[u]->name', we can
see what symbol is causing the problem.  Then get out of gdb, and do
'nm gcl-tk/tkl.o |grep <symbol>' and 'nm --dynamic <your c library>
|grep <symbol>'.

Hope this helps.

Take care,
