Make will invoke subcommands as "$(SHELL) -c <commandstring>"

You can only use commands for SHELL that conform to this invocation
model: all shells, plus things like ssh etc., do.  Tclsh, apparently,
doesn't... it's trying to read commands from stdin.  Check the tclsh
docs to see how to invoke it to run a command given on the command line.

You will need to write a script that takes arguments in the form make
wants to give them, and invokes tclsh in the form that it wants to
receive them.
