Sorry to tell you, but this is almost impossible to do. SDL itself can create 
a lot of inpredictable dependencies depending on what backends have been 
enabled during compile time (and there exist many). The only way to get this 
right is to use sdl-config. Dropping sdl-config will only get you into deep 
trouble. *Never* do this. It's a lot better and safer to add a 
- --witih-sdl-config={path} option to configure.
