On Unix systems: nothing. But I've not seen it done on Windows systems.

>From what I know, it would require me to recompile SDL, SDL_image and
all the depending libs (like zlib, libjpeg ...) from source with
modifications to each of the build processes to make them static. And
just recompiling SDL on windows proved to be not as straight-forward as
on a unixoid machine beacuse you need to get things like the directx
headers right or you will get subtle bugs like e.g. a horribly lagging
audio output.

We have always been quite clear that Win95 and Win98 are not the systems
to use if you are in a hostile security environment. We recommend Windows NT
for those environments.             -- Paul Leach <paulle at MICROSOFT.COM>
