Looks like you're not telling configure that it should link with some Tcl
libraries.

Here it looks like AIX puts the socket functions in a separate library.
Check around for something like libsocket.a or search the libraries in
/usr/lib for the symbols send and/or sendto:

    for f in /usr/lib/lib* ; do
	echo $f
	nm -a $f | egrep sendto
    done

Again, it would appear this library needs to be fed to configure.
