Of course I would find out why AFTER I spend a week trying to figure it 
out and then emailing the list.

The changelog for libSDL:

SDL 1.2.11 Release Notes

SDL 1.2.11 is a minor bug fix release.
Unix Notes

     * Dynamic X11 loading is only enabled with gcc 4 supporting 
-fvisibility=hidden. This fixes crashes related to symbol collisions, 
and allows building on Solaris and IRIX.

Nice. Now it looks like I'll need to find another way to get rid of 
GLIBC_2.4 dependencies. I would rather update to the latest version than 
drop back down to 1.2.10, though.

Thanks anyway. B-)
