Bug Description

Binary package hint: tcl8.5

During the build process the (pre-installed) tclsh for the build host should be used, rather than the newly produced target binary.

Hmm I'm not sure how comfortable upstream would be with this; it would be nicer to build a build-tclsh, which probably requires larger changes; could you send that upstream to get their feedback?

I think this change is good until a proper upstream fix is implemented though.

    cross-building (closes: #631995, LP: #623212).
