[naviserver-devel] Naviserver doesn't compile against tcl8.7-alpha5

[D.Fox <un...@cr...>]

Greetings, 
It appears that any version of naviserver won't compile with TCL8.7a5 on FreeBSD13, however with TCL 8.7a3 naviserver does compile. 

The issue I am having is that: 8.7a5 gives me stubs-support, 8.7a3 does not which is required for a package. 
Essentially: tcl8.7a5 gives me stubs, naviserver won't compile, with tcl8.7a3 naviserver compiles, but TCL doesn't give me stubs 

./tclsh8.7a3 
% package require tarray 
This extension requires stubs-support. 

Are there any workarounds to this? Thanks. 

The errors thrown when compiling are below:
