[SDL] static binaries with sdl

[Christopher Thielen]

A few days ago I figured this out while browsing 'Programming Linux
Games'. I'm still somewhat new to gcc and didn't know that the linker
needs all required libs to come after the lib that requires it, so,
sdl_ttf and sdl_image before sdl, as well as freetype after sdl_ttf, and
so on. i got it to statically build, but my only problem now is that
building a static binary w/ gcc3 ... it seems to make a dynamic link to
a gcc3 lib that doesn't have a static vers ... so, if anybody knows how
to get rid of that dependency when building static w/ gcc3, lemme know,
but until i figure that out, i'll use gcc2.
