Correct, OpenBSD's gcc does not do that.

The idea might have been that you could select which one of several
installed Tcl version to use.  E.g., if you have a cutting edge
experimental build somewhere you could use
--with-tclconfig=$HOME/tcl-install/lib.

Anyway, the problem here seems to be that the tclConfig.sh file does not
provide a variable that gives a hint where to look for include files.
There are a dozen variables for library things, but zero for cpp flags or
includes.  If someone finds one, let me know.
