This is the exact same problem I am having with tcl/tk on netbsd.  There I
don't have root access so your symlink workaround is not available to me so
I have to disable it.  I think the only real solution to this problem is
fundamental change in how we configure tcl/tk, but I don't know how to make
the necessary changes myself.
