Summary: configure does not check/warn/stop for tk/tcl

Initial Comment:
linux-2.4.33
installing Python-2.5.tar.bz2 9357099 bytes

During the first configure/make process, there were no errors until compilation failed.
Looking back at the configure output, I see:
...[clip]...
checking for UCS-4 tcl... no
...[clip]...

Because during make, it said:
...[clip]...
/usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:80:2: #error "Tk older than 8.2 not supported"
/usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:92:2: #error "unsupported Tcl configuration"
...[clip]...and many pages of:...
/usr/src/Python-2.5/Modules/_tkinter.c:xxxx: errors

Ok, so I upgraded the tk and tcl packages without incident.

Now, Why during the clean re-configuration, do I get the same message, and also an error in the config.log that matches??

make did (appear to) finish ok

Perhaps this may have relevance to the other bug.
[ 1653753 ] crash / abort during install

config.log is attached there.
