I beleive we should better fix all ports that do improper linking, than
live with a compatibility hack. I have checked some local ports, and
there seems to be not very much of them. Furthermore, tcl was
already fixed. Kris, can you provide a list of broken ports without this
modification.

If needed, we can write a letter to ports@ to ask all maintainers to
check/fix their ports in respect of correct linking. After this will be
done, the patch can be backouted.
