Summary: tclThreadTest.c and Tcl_PackageRequire link problem

Initial Comment:
CVS head (as of this post at least) will not link on Windows using MSys/MinGW. The error I receive is:

gcc -shared -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer  -o tcltest86.dll -Wl,--out-implib,libtcltest86.a tclTest.o tclTestObj.o tclTestProcBodyObj.o tclThreadTest.o tclWinTest.o libtclstub86.a -lws2_32 /home/Jeremy/TclTk_CVS/tcl/compat/zlib/win32/zdll.lib
Creating library file: libtcltest86.a
tclThreadTest.o:tclThreadTest.c:(.text+0x119d): undefined reference to `Tcl_PackageRequire'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tcltest86.dll] Error 1

Commenting lines 590-593 out in generic/tclThreadTest.c causes tcl to then link correctly. It appears that this section was added in the last commit (11/19) of tclThreadTest.c. I am unsure of the root problem.
