The problem was that the configure script expects to find
the libjvm in a subdirectory linux, e.g.
  /usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/lib/linux/native_threads/libjava.so
But on SuSE7.0 (and before) this subdirectory is called i386!
So I created a softlink:
  ln -s i386 /usr/lib/jdk1.1.8/lib/linux
and now it works!

Sorry but I don't get autoconf 2.14 up and running. The generated
configure script creates error messages one after the other.
So here is only the workaround for SuSE users, but no patch
for the configure.in (or tcljava.m4)
