I also encountered some SEGV with tcl/tk 8.4 (a simple launch of wish8.4 
is enough to reproduce this) and some libc6 when this last one is build 
with gcc 4.0 or 4.1.
I tried so to rebuild it with gcc 3.4 but it failed (as well as latest 
buildd logs) oth with gcc-3.3 libc6 rebuild fine and tcl8.4 seems to 
work fine too.

Awaiting a fix that libc6 + gcc4, could you try to rebuild your libc 
with gcc-3.3 and check if that help you too?

Thanks,
   Joel
