Just tell rpmbuild to ignore dependencies (--nodeps or some such). The
dependency on tcl-devel is bogus for older RH installations, because
they didn't have a separate package for tcl's development stuff.
There is another way to do it involving defining a symbol to tell the
build script which platform you are on, but --nodeps is easier ...
