Oh, that.  It's an i686 native build.  Here's the toplevel config.status
(the nice tiny one):

  #!/bin/sh
  # This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
  # This directory was configured as follows:
  /home/pme/src/unified/configure
  --with-gcc-version-trigger=/home/pme/src/unified/gcc/version.c
  --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-15
  --quiet --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++ --disable-nls --disable-sim
  --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-install-libiberty
  --enable-concept-checks --enable-symvers --enable-gdbtk --with-dwarf2
  --norecursion
  #  using "mt-frag"

It's getting the right one:

11% cd build/build-2002-07-15
12% grep tclconfig config.cache
ac_cv_c_itclconfig=${ac_cv_c_itclconfig=/home/pme/build/build-2002-07-15/itcl/itcl}
ac_cv_c_tclconfig=${ac_cv_c_tclconfig=/home/pme/build/build-2002-07-15/tcl/unix}
13% ls -lF tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
-rw-r--r--    1 pme      pme          7449 Jul 15 10:40 tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
14% grep TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC='-L/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-15/lib -ltclstub8.3${TCL_DBGX}'
15%


I opened tclConfig.sh, intending to hack the build path in there just so
I can get the rest of the tree to build, and noticed the other variables
alongside TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC.  So instead of changing that file, I went
back into the source and made this change instead:

So now instead of MAKE_LIB reading "-L{prefix}/lib -lstubname" it reads
"{build}/stubname.a" explicitly.  And this works.
