Details

Description:
Some software have the configure script set to use 'sdl-config' to get sdl folders. Currently, only the package [extra]/sdl has 'sdl-config' script, which provides a libdir variable hardcoded with '-L/usr/lib'.
So, when compiling for multilib (-m32, lib32, etc.) configure scripts will print "skip incompatible" for libs, as it have '-I/usr/lib' as sdl libs folder.

Solutions that I can think of for this issue ("my 2 cents"):
1) provide a sdl-multilib in [multilib] with sdl-config patched to not provide '-L/usr/lib' (See patch attached)
2) same for above solution, but fix in the 'sdl' of [extra]

Additional info:
* package version(s)
sdl 1.2.15
lib32-sdl 1.2.15


Steps to reproduce:
1- Compile a software that set libdir in using sdl-config (e.g. gngeo from AUR)
2- See "skipping incompatible <lib-name>" in config.log

   SDL-1.2.12-multilib.patch (1.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

lib32-sdl 1.2.15-2 now provides sdl-config-32 which should return the correct paths.
