The first two patches LGTM, but we should figure out why some packages
need special attention and squash the fixes with the Mesa (or libdrm)
change.

I see the other packages are SDL-related, maybe the libSDL pkg-config
files are different after this change?  Or "sdl-config" prints something
weird?

Thanks for looking after these packages :-)
