Oops... My reply was based on my current version of the code which is
ahead a little (by changes from Olaf regarding cross compilation support).

In 2.96.4, I see direct invocations of ./tie in pdfetexdir/pdfetex.mk
and etexdir/etex.mk. These fragments end up in web2c/Makefile. So,
I don't think that $(TIE) is set anywhere. But, this will change with
the next version...
