Meson (just like configure before it) is looking for SDL and other
dependencies even if you're not building system emulators.

Because you don't have those dependencies installed as static libraries,
Meson warns that library is marked as "not found" even though the
library itself is there.  To suppress the warnings, it's enough to put
an "if have_system" around the dependency check.  Let me know if you
want me to do it now.
