I've discovered that when building on powerpc64le (and probably powerpc64) SDL's configure script fails to detect dynamic library support, causing it to build a static library. This causes link failures due to undefined symbols later when packages link with -lSDL.
This seems to be because the included autotools package is too old to detect powerpc64le. This change corrects the problem for me but newer versions of autotools should handle it without a patch

Allow "aclocal" to find the "AC_CHECK_DEFINE" macro.
On running:
rm aclocal.m4
libtoolize --install --copy --force
aclocal -I acinclude
autoconf -I acinclude
The former three commands succeed, but "autoconf" fails with:
configure.in:198: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_DEFINE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
"aclocal" fails to find AC_CHECK_DEFINE and hence add such macro to
"aclocal.m4". Here is why:
* "acinclude/ac_check_define.m4" defines AC_CHECK_DEFINE via define() rather
than AC_DEFUN().
* "aclocal" fails to find macros defined via define().
