If you continue to link against a static lib, you're going to need
some sort of symbol table to force the inclusion of all the code you
need.  If you link against a dynamic tcl lib, you won't as the dynamic
loader has to have access to the entire symbol table in the .so

The question is, therefore, why are you linking against a static tcl lib?
