Rudiger,

This is a Project Builder bug.  When it runs gcc from a regular PB project,
it passes some funny options to gcc to help it to parse the gcc output.  But
when it runs a "Legacy Makefile" target (which is what the Tcl project is)
it doesn't have this help, and sometimes mis-parses the output, and thinks
that warnings are errors.  Note, however, that the status bar says:

Build Succeeded (5 errors)

So it sort of knows what happened.  I reported this to the PB folks, and
they will fix it at some point (though it is probably not their first
priority...)  

I should also go clean up the warnings, I need to do a general warning
cleanup, there aren't many in Tcl, but there are way too many in Tk.  But I
haven't gotten to this yet.

Anyway, your build of Tcl is fine.

Jim
