The bug would be that it doesn't warn. It should state that there will be no
graphical output if it can't find libsdl-devel. (Tho you should have gotten
a warning that SDL was not detected period.)

Does this bug occur w/o Paul Brooks patch as well?

qemu needs libsdl-devel in order to compile correctly and link to the libsdl
library, in case that was not made clear before.
