Sorry for picking up this thread again but I still have problems but had
to do something else for the last two weeks.
As Mumit suggested I downloaded 8.1, applied his patches. Tcl build very
fine without problems. But I had problems with building TK. There were
some functions defined locally in modules which have the same name
as prototypes in wingdi.h and winuser.h. These were:

- CreateBitmap() in generic/tkCanvBmap.c
- GetCursor() in generic/tkCursor.c
- SetFocus() in generic/tkFocus.c

I just renamed these function in there modules prepending a Tk. Then
compile worked just fine but when it came to link the dll I got
thousands of unresolved externals from tcl like
  tkWindow.o: In function `Initialize':
  //z/STS/TCU/thirdparty/WinNT/tk8.1/win/./../generic/tkWindow.c:2717:
undefined reference to `_imp__Tcl_PkgRequire'
  //z/STS/TCU/thirdparty/WinNT/tk8.1/win/./../generic/tkWindow.c:2721:
undefined reference to `_imp__Tcl_GetThreadData'

I figured out that this was due to the missing -ltcl81 in the buildline
for the libtk81.dll. So I added that and then ... everything compiled
ok. Then I installed everything in a temporary directory and tried to
run it. tclsh81.exe semmed to be ok but when I ran wish81.exe I got
a core. Loaded wish81.exe into gdb and run it. Following the output:

(gdb) r

Anybody got an idea? The link line of the wish produces following output:
