Now I am trying to compile Tk with threads (Tk and Tcl should mostly be
treated as one), but I go such command:
WARNING: Tk on Unix is known to have problems with thread support. It is
recommended that Tk be used with a non-thread enabled Tcl.

As Tcl is mostly used with Tk I think we should disable thread.

I am trying to compile Tk with --enable-threads anyway. If this fixes my
problem with sdr we could leave threads support in Tcl, if not I will
remove "--enable-threads" from tcl.spec
