That's odd in that I would expect the UNIX / cygwin port of tcl to be
selected, not the Windows one, in such a configuration.  Maybe some
major src/tcl replacement has occurred that broke this logic.

I recommend removing (!) the tcl and tk subdirectories from the sid
sources, then configuring anew.  In this case, the configury should
attempt to find the system's tcl libraries (if any), and failing that,
it should just omit the tcl-bridge component.
