[Starkit] well, whatever

[Larry W. Virden]

Okay, today I have built a working tclkit on sparc solaris 9.

Here's what I did.

1. Made these changes:
$ gdiff -U1 tars/genkit genkit

2. Used this script:
#! /bin/ksh

date
# OS=$(~lwv28/bin/config.guess)
export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/bin:$PATH
which gcc
which g++
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/lib
export CC=/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/bin/gcc
export CCC=/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/bin/g++
export CFLAGS="-L/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/lib -R/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/lib"

export CXXFLAGS="-L/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/lib -R/vol/gnu/gcc-3.4.4/lib"

tclsh ./genkit A 
tclsh ./genkit B tcl
ksh ./genkit B
ksh ./genkit C
unset DISPLAY
ksh ./genkit D
DISPLAY=lwv28awu:0 ksh ./genkit D
ksh ./genkit E


The result is a tclkit without a statically linked stdc++ :-( but
at least it does run.

I would have preferred having the libraries statically linked, but
I would get errors about not finding static versions of gcc_s, or dl,
or whatever, regardless of the variations of flags I used.

I am reporting this in case someone else comes along with a similar
problem.

So, to build a tclkit for the latest beta release, I need to put the 
new tcl and tk tar files into the tars directory, right?
Do I need new versions of anything else?
