Light has dawned.

If you look in src/ of the tcladashell code you'll find two C files,
tclmacro.c and tkmacro.c. Compile these with gcc (the one build in to
GNAT would be best),
   gcc -c -g -O2 -IC:/Tcl/include tclmacro.c
   gcc -c -g -O2 -IC:/Tcl/include  tkmacro.c
and include the resulting objects in your link.

The top of tclmacro.c says
/*
 * tclmacro.c --
 *
 *    This file encapsulates calls to all tcl.h macro functions into C
 *    function calls.  These can then be called from Ada.  This avoids
 *    having to translate the macro.

(by the way, ActiveState only seem to have the threaded version: the
one I have is ActiveTcl8.4.17.0.283511-win32-ix86-threaded.exe)
