symbols files aren't there to track ABI breaking changes (this would
require a SONAME bump anyway) but API additions. And, as you have
already correctly stated, SDL development was rather stangnant around
the last decade but has recently gained more steam again. So, they
might be adding more API between releases and we currently have to keep
track of that manually.

Yes, you are right. We are building only with the standard hardening
flgs, but not with the full set.

Alright, let's add it.

You were a great help already!

Another question: We do currently disable Vulkan support, which was the
last SDL version this has been tested with?

Cheers,

Fabian
