Re: 'bad code' in tcl file command

["Martin M. Hunt" <hunt at redhat dot com>]

I have checked the fix for this into sources.

It turns out the tcl maintainers had already fixed this problem a week
ago, so I just copied their fix into our tree. I never noticed the bug
because of a configuration problem.  If tcl was built as part of the
toolchain, it was built with flags of "-O2".  However if you typed make
in the tcl directory, it appended a "-O" flag on, resulting in "-O2 -O"
which gcc interprets the same as "-O".  Executables built with "-O" were
fine.  I have checked in a fix to this problem too.
