I wasn't sure it had directly to do with SDL. It could easily be autotools
or gcc related. I have recently (after gcc 4.7) successfully built stuff
(hedgewars) that used gcc. But hedgewars uses cmake instead of autotools.
Also the fact that it builds on my rawhide system suggests that either
a build broke things today or that something else needs to get installed
in the mock instance.

Both lordsawar and sear.

I started taking a quick look for new SDL* builds, but with the mass rebuild
it was harder to do a real quick check. (Normally I'd just look for any
s* builds.)

It looks like only rebuilds for gcc 4.7 have been done recently.

But I need to make a temporary change to the spec file to do that?
(Or do mock builds instead of local builds locally, but mock builds
take a fair amount of time on my hardware.)

I think I really need to see the config log to tell what is happening.
