Hello,
this patches enables MiNT users linking with libnsfb without hassle and
without further need of patching the sdl.pc file.
Without this patch, the developer needs to patch sdl.pc - because the
compiler complaints about doubly defined references to system functions
caused by the --whole-archive flag.
the -u hack is needed because the function _sdl_register_frontend must be
referenced by netsurf - otherwise it's not linked into netsurf (at least
not without the --whole-archive flag) and therefore not called before main.
Greets,
Ole
