Most tclkit builds are contributed by others.  I'm not able to run  
tests or otherwise verify them - the tclkit binaries are merely  
collected as a public service.  IOW, I'm just the delivery boy ;)

Are you sure?  I can't confirm that:

$ gzip -d <8.4.1/tclkit-irix-mips.gz >a
$ file a
a: ELF 32-bit N32 MSB MIPS-IV executable, MIPS, version 1 (SYSV),  
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
$

If you have the opportunity, I suggest doing the build yourself,  
using the genkit script and working with the latest 8.4.11 sources or  
cvs HEAD.
