Did the configure process pick up on tcldebug's location? read the
output. If it didn't, possible configure bug (I've encountered similar
oddities with --with-dmalloc in the past, but I wouldn't expect this
in 2.1b5 since John's been tweaking configure). Since you've got a
standard location, try just:

--with-tcldebug

by itself, or setting an absolute instead of a relative path.

Obconfiggrumble: I think enable-debug could be better
labelled/documented to indicate what it did (i.e. nothing to do with
tcl-debug. I think.) Ditto for enable-release/enable-devel.
