Branden and Christian,
    I guess I don't follow the finer nuance here but these are the 
different compile lines generated from libtool without doing an
autoconf before configure...

gcc -shared  IMG.lo IMG_bmp.lo IMG_gif.lo IMG_jpg.lo IMG_lbm.lo IMG_pcx.lo IMG_png.lo IMG_pnm.lo IMG_tga.lo IMG_tif.lo IMG_xcf.lo IMG_xpm.lo  -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libSDL.so -lpthread -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm -lXv /usr/lib/libjpeg.so -lpng -lz  -Wl,-soname -Wl,libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 -o .libs/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.1.0

...and with doing an autoconf first before configure in libsdl-image1.2...

gcc -shared  IMG.lo IMG_bmp.lo IMG_gif.lo IMG_jpg.lo IMG_lbm.lo IMG_pcx.lo IMG_png.lo IMG_pnm.lo IMG_tga.lo IMG_tif.lo IMG_xcf.lo IMG_xpm.lo  -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm -lXv /usr/lib/libjpeg.so -lpng -lz /usr/lib/libSDL.so -lpthread  -Wl,-soname -Wl,libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 -o .libs/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.1.0

Does this look correct now? I am surprised as this looks to be just
a simple reordering of the linkage rather than anything that invokes
the xlibs-pic versions of -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm -lXv explicitly.
Guess I'll need to reread the mailing list on that issue again. In any
case, the second link command generates a good copy of 
libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.1.0.
