[Starkit] trying to compile tclkit: 64-bit SPARC 8.5a4

[Tim Edwards]

I've managed to get most of the way through building a 64bit version of
8.5a4 by using "-mcpu-v9 -m64" during compilation in all the appropriate
places.  After finally convincing all of the components to build 64-bit
libraries (fairly minor tweaking and some library re-ordering at link), I
finally get all the way to genkit phase 'D' and get this failure:

  $ tclsh genkit D
  copying install/sc0043/kitsh to dummy85-sc0043
  application-specific initialization failed: couldn't read file
"/tmp/tclkit8.5a4/dummy85-sc0043/lib/tcl8.5/init.tcl": not a directory
     info loaded = {{} zlib} {{} vfs} {{} rechan} {{} Mk4tcl}
   tclkit_version = 1
 invalid command name "parray"

If I run the "dummy" directly, it does this:

 $ ./dummy85-sc0043
 application-specific initialization failed: unknown encoding "iso8859-1"

On a different platform (i686 red hat linux), the dummy doesn't give this
failure, it just gives a prompt.  Since "init.tcl" is, indeed in the "
runtime85.kit" file which gets appended to the dummy executable, this seems
to be a problem with the virtual filesystem.  It's strange to me that the
'genkit' invocation seems to be able to access the encoding from the vfs
(but then fails to find init.tcl), while the direct dummy invocation can't
even find the encodings.
Does anyone know what I might be able to try to get past this? I appreciate
any suggestions!
Regards,
_Tim
