zebra @2.0.50_0 build fails: error: 'Tcl_Interp' has no member named 'errorLine' or 'result'

[jigme.datse@…]

When trying to build zebra the command fails I'm really not sure what more to say. I've tried to clean and rebuild. It seems to fail at the same place no matter what I do. It looks like it installs it as a binary, but that fails, then it installs from source. I don't know if something in the configuration process isn't working correctly.

It's an incompatibility with Tcl 8.6:

:info:build mod_grs_regx.c: In function 'execTcl':
:info:build mod_grs_regx.c:1304: error: 'Tcl_Interp' has no member named 'errorLine'
:info:build mod_grs_regx.c:1305: error: 'Tcl_Interp' has no member named 'result'
:info:build make[1]: *** [mod_grs_regx.lo] Error 1

The workaround we've used in many ports already is to add -DUSE_INTERP_ERRORLINE and -DUSE_INTERP_RESULT to CPPFLAGS, but this problem must be reported to the developers so that they can fix their code to work with Tcl 8.6 without this flag.

The attached patch works for me, and also updates the port to 2.0.54. David, may I commit it?
