Re: 'bad code' in tcl file command
I have checked the fix for this into sources.
It turns out the tcl maintainers had already fixed this problem a week
ago, so I just copied their fix into our tree. I never noticed the bug
because of a configuration problem. If tcl was built as part of the
toolchain, it was built with flags of "-O2". However if you typed make
in the tcl directory, it appended a "-O" flag on, resulting in "-O2 -O"
which gcc interprets the same as "-O". Executables built with "-O" were
fine. I have checked in a fix to this problem too.
