I would suggest to do what is opportune in that situation:

Try to ISOLATE the problem. Try calling gawk without using Tcl
and try calling Tcl without gawk.

As Chris has already mentioned, tcl/tk has only a bit of Cygwin
support so you might have problems in interacting, similar to any
interacting between Cygwin tools and native w32 tools.
