Forwarded to https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/pull/326, with the addition of a serial number increment and an explanatory commit message. Because of the way Autoconf macros get vendored into dependent projects and versioned by their serial number, I think we should get this fixed upstream first, and then backport that fix into Debian. Otherwise, it will be ineffective for projects that already include a sdl.m4 with serial 2 in their source releases. > I believe that libsdl2-dev has the same bug.

I've proposed https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/8766 as the equivalent change. Again, we should do that upstream first, but then it can be backported. The good news is that SDL3 doesn't need this, because SDL3 relies on standard pkg-config (and/or CMake) mechanisms instead of providing its own custom Autoconf macros. Thanks, smcv
