This looks like libtool in libsdl just doing its 'borg thing when it
finds .la files on the system.  Doing a binNMU would be one way to clear
this up, but I guess ideally we should reassign and clone this bug to
libsdl, libvorbis, libogg, libmikmod and libsmpeg requesting that they
all remove their .la files too ...

It's the only way to be sure ;)
