SDL installs a script-based sdl-config in the sysroot, but some
packages (eg. QEMU) needs it to be either:
  - prefixed with the cross-prefix
  - in the PATH

So, as sdl-config is a script, and although it is installed in
the sysroot, it can be run on the host.

Well, that's typically not how we handle this problem. In general, we
pass the complete location of the <foo>-config script to
the ./configure script of the package that needs it.

Yep, I knew this one would raise eyebrows. ;-)

I would prefer if
we could use this solution everywhere instead of having a different
solution in different places for the same problem.

But still, is it the right solution to use the sdl-config, although it is
installed in staging?

Do you know if it
would be possible with Qemu?

Ah, looking further, there's SDL_CONFIG we can set (I missed it...)
Will fix.

Yann E. MORIN.
