No, and unfortunately it isn't likely that I can switch to Linux.
It appears that the Tcl C interface has changed a bit in going from 7.6 to
8.0, and while the Unix port was not affected the Windows port was. The
relevant sections from the Tcl 8.0.3 distribution are:
8. Tcl_CreateFileHandler and Tcl_DeleteFileHandler now take Unix
fd's and are only supported on the Unix platform. Please use the
Tcl_CreateChannelHandler interface instead.
9. The C APIs for creating channel drivers have changed as part of
the new notifier implementation. The Tcl_File interfaces have been
removed. Tcl_GetChannelFile has been replaced with
Tcl_GetChannelHandle. Tcl_MakeFileChannel now takes a platform-
specific file handle. Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc procedures now take
an additional interp argument.
which affect the file ocamltk41\support\cltkFile.c, which uses the
obsolete Tcl_GetFile function and Tcl_File type. My perusal of the rest
of the sources didn't turn up any other porting issues, but I haven't
tried to rewrite and compile yet.
