Hi,

The problem seems to be pkgsrc related.

I have sucessfully build sdl from the release tarball. The only 
difference I can see is the :

===> Building for SDL-1.2.7nb2
cd . && aclocal-1.8

/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
  /bin/sh ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile

I haven't these warnings when building manually from the release

I installed the latest automake and autocong with pkgsrc (i was using 
the default ones, 1.6) but it doesn't change anything. Can it be the 
problem ?
