I will answer the rest later, but to get you started again, it looks like
there is a blank between the -L option and the path.  I think they have to
be jammed together (at least that is what man ld says).  So there is
probably some problem with sysloc.in (or configure.ac) that inserts a blank
prefix in the path.  In my case I am using default library locations for the
tcl/tk libraries so I don't exercise that logic.
