Looking at the contents of the directory hierarchy at

    gps-1.4.0-academic/kernel/src_info/sn/snsrc/tcl8.1/ 

showed that it didn't contain a complete tcl8.1 distribution
so it wasn't surprising that it couldn't build libtcl81.a.

As a quick fix I extracted a tcl distribution into that directory and
retried the build, and the build continued beyond that point.

The next error that occured was:
  adagcc -c -g -o /sw/src/gps-1.4.0-academic/obj/g-os_lib.o -gnatecGNAT-gGGYuZ -gnatn -gnatpg -O2 -gnatws -gnatA /sw/src/gps-1.4.0-academic/gnat/g-os_lib.adb
  g-os_lib.adb:34:06: "SYSTEM.CASE_UTIL" is not a predefined library unit
  gnatmake: "/sw/src/gps-1.4.0-academic/gnat/g-os_lib.adb" compilation error
  gmake[1]: *** [internal-build] Error 4
  gmake: *** [default] Error 2

There are links in gps-1.4.0-academic/gnat/:

    s-casuti.adb -> ../gnat_src/s-casuti.adb
    s-casuti.ads -> ../gnat_src/s-casuti.ads

However, there are no such files in ../gnat_src.
