Hi,

The attached patch solves this with taskset, although I haven't tried with a
real single-CPU'd buildd.

It's a one-liner at the start of a resource-generator tool that's only run
during the build, and isn't included in the actual packages.  There are no
calls to SDL_AddTimer, so I think there's no need for SDL_INIT_TIMER, and
removing it avoids some interaction between SDL, xvfb and only having one CPU.

-  if( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_TIMER|SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE) < 0 ) {
+  if( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE) < 0 ) {
     cerr <<"Impossible d'initialiser SDL:"<<SDL_GetError()<<endl;
     exit(-1);

BR,
Steve
