New package sdlmame

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Hi,

I am trying to get SDLMame[1] to build in T2.

SDLMame is the successor and a replacement for xmame, which has fallen into
disrepair and is not very up to date at all.

Target is a small 500MHz Geode LX-based 3.5"-PC that I have been given as
a leftover from an evaluation at a client of mine. I hope to get it running
using a purpose-built distribution using SDL on top of Framebuffer or maybe
directFB to minimize resource requirements and hopefully get a few of the
classic games to run. I have also been given a 6.5" LCD display, so if this
works out it may turn into a working 1:4 scale arcade cabinet as a winter
project :-).

Starting from a minimal selection of packages I got libsdl, esound and their
various requirements to build almost immediately. I managed to configure
libsdl to not require X11 at all, that was the only target-specific adaption
I did.

SDLName itself fails to build, however. I traced the problem to the fact that
the makefile passes the parameter -Wl to calls of the just the linker (not the
compiler, for wich it seems to be intended):

What could be the reason for this and what options are there to fix it?

Ciao, MM
