The change resulting from Bug 4208 changed the compatibility_version of libSDL2 from 9.0.0 to 1.0.0. This is simply wrong.
This means that programs linked against 2.0.9 are considered by the dynamic linker to be compatible with all previous versions of libSDL2. This is not the case since new public symbols have been added.
The way compatibility_version and current_version are meant to work is:
* current_version increases every time the library changes in any way.
* compatibility_version is increased to match current_version whenever new public symbols are added.
Thus both versions should only ever increase. The solution to the Xcode project and autotools not having matching versions should have been to increase the version(s) in the Xcode project.

This works around a bug in NVIDIA's implementation of
glXSwapIntervalEXT, where it ignores updates to what it *thinks* is the
current value, even though glXQueryDrawable returns a different value.
Bug reported to NVIDIA and will hopefully be a part of 319.xx.
Also a fix for invalidly treating glXSwapIntervalEXT as having an int
return value (it's void).
The attached patch changes configure.in to use "-framework FOO" instead of
"-Wl,-framework,FOO".
This avoid some issues with certain versions of libtool that do not handle
-framework properly.
Some versions of libtool will try to reorder the two parts of the option, or
render the 2nd part of the argument to the relative path of a non-existent
library.
Note: It is not enough if SDL uses a version of libtool that does this
correctly, because these -framework options show up in "sdl-config --libs".
Hence, some 3rd party apps which still ship with an old libtool have troubles
compiling under Mac OS X.
