Package: tcl8.4
Version: 8.4.11-1
Severity: serious

>From my build log:

...
checking for connect... yes

checking if 64bit support is requested... yes
checking if 64bit Sparc VIS support is requested... no
checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: line 7646: syntax 
error near unexpected token `)'
./configure: line 7646: `       OSF*)'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

This is being caused by the following code in configure:

...
            if test -r /etc/.relid -a "X`uname -n`" = "X`uname -s`" ; then
                system=MP-RAS-`awk '{print }' /etc/.relid'`
            fi
...

The problem is the extraneous apostrophe after relid on the middle
line.  If I remove this apostrophe, and another one in identical code
later, then the package build completes successfully.

Note that this same thing also happens in tcl8.0, tcl8.3, tk8.3, and
tk8.4 (but not tk8.0).  It doesn't hit blt, but it does affect tix
(which I know has a different maintainer, so I'll file a separate bug
report for that one).
