Since this seems to be a libtool question, I have added the libtool list
to Cc.
The following compilation option[1] seems appropriate:
-shared
Even if Libtool was configured with --enable-static, the object file
Libtool builds will not be suitable for static linking. Libtool
will signal an error if it was configured with --disable-shared,
or if the host does not support shared libraries.
And the following link option[2]:
-shared
If output-file is a program, then link it against any uninstalled
shared libtool libraries (this is the default behavior). If output-
file is a library, then only create a shared library. In the later
case, libtool will signal an error if it was configured with
--disable-shared, or if the host does not support shared libraries.
So, if you add -shared to libtclmkkernel_la_CFLAGS and also to
libtclmkkernel_la_LDFLAGS, I'd expect this to work as you expect
(I've not tried it).

Hope that helps,
