No. They are also from Tcl 8.5 and are *much* larger than that of 8.4.

Here is statically built, stripped tclsh8.4:

# ls -lh tclsh 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 sunny  wheel   651K Aug  6 11:18 tclsh
# ldd tclsh
tclsh:
	libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28118000)
	libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2812d000)

In my case, main attraction of Tcl was the ability to build it
(statically if needed) into the application. Additional benefit being
that with some malice and forethought you can use your application as
the generic Tcl interpreter when you need one ;)
