Help building 8.4.14

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the archive page is
down.
I'm trying to build Tcl 8.4.14, and getting this error:

/usr/bin/libtool: file: -ltclstub8.4g is not an object file
(not
allowed in a library)

Sure enough, there's no libtclstub8.4g* anywhere.  I do have
a
/usr/lib/libtclstub8.4.a, no g, which I tried linking to
/usr/lib/libtclstub8.4g.a, but still get the same error.

I'm on 10.4.8/Intel using gcc 4.01.

Any suggestions?

The 'g' is for debug builds, but we have been moving away
from using that
anyways.  Why is libtool getting involved in building Tcl? 
In any case, you
probably need a clean build without symbols to get this
working.

So why is the released source looking for a debug lib?  I
just
downloaded the source tarball and did a make from the macosx
dir.

You tell me?  I was just following orders!

A clean build of what?
