It's correct, but I am rather puzzled still.
To make things even worse the ordering of libraries is
actually not mine to choose - it has been partly created by automake.
Actually the piece that's causing problems is done by the dependency
tracking. static .so libraries seem to have something that helps
finding symbols. That mechanism somehow fails for .a librarries.
So the question is if this is a real 'bug' in automake/libtool
library dependency tracking or not. Actually I am not quite sure,
but adding -lXxf86vm to the end of *_LDADD (where it is needed)
seems to work for me.
At least I have got a fix now ... but still I want to see that
problem solved completely since all autoconf/automake/libtool
projects utilizing libsdl have to face that problem.
Anyway thanks for your answere it helped a lot ;).
