I don't believe that is a valid value for that define.  See
AvailabilityMacros.h.  You should use 1030.  Although I don't believe
that would cause your problem...

Actually it's kinda the other way around.  The explanation is rather
long winded... have your read the technote and header I mentioned last
time?  Basically, if you set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET then
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED is automatically set. 
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_REQUIRED you should set yourself.  It will control
what is weak linked.

Do you have the same version of tcl on both your 10.3 and 10.4 drives? 
Does said tcl version support both versions of the OS?
