Bug#698052: [libsdl1.2-dev] sdl-config --static-libs doesn't add Required.private libs

[Schrober]

Package: libsdl1.2-dev
Version: 1.2.15-5
Severity: normal

Compiling a program statically with `sdl-config --static-libs ...` will result 
in missing symbols:

A pkg-config based config (.pc) would use "Required.private: x11" to fix this. 
Adding also `pkg-config --static --libs x11` is currently used by me as 
workaround. But this is no real solution
