This problem is not essential to build tclkit - just ignore it and  
continue with the next steps, it should still work.

The "mkdyn" target builds a shared library version of Mk4tcl, for use  
of Metakit with tclsh/wish executables.

Having said that - looks like an option is missing from the final  
"ld".  I've added an entry at http://www.equi4.com/fff/122 to keep  
track of this.
