tk.tcl should be built into the tclcl library.
I'd guess embedded-tk.cc in tclcl wasn't built correctly
for the same reason yoru gen/version.c wasn't made correctly in ns.

Please make sure embedded-{tcl,tclobj,tk}.cc in tclcl have (lots of!)
text in them and rebuild/relink to get the corrected versions if
necessary.
