SDL_systhread.c and SDL_syslocale.c used to call LoadLibrary() without
calling FreeLibrary() later. GetModuleHandleW() should always succeed
because GetModuleHandleW() itself is imported from kernel32.dll and we
don't need to bother releasing it.
- acinclude/alsa.m4, esd.m4: Ran through autoupdate to replace several
AC_TRY_[COMPILE|LINK|RUN] with corresponding AC_???_IFELSE , so that
autoconf-2.70 doesn't warn.
- sdl2.m4: Ditto.
- test/acinclude.m4 (sdl2): Ditto.
- remove HP/UX 9 (%@#!) support
- change fopen() mode from "a" to "w" in test code.
- bump its serial num to 2.
- test/acinclude.m4: same sdl2.m4 updates.
- revise for better compatibility with new autoconf,
- remove HP/UX 9 (%@#!) support from it,
- replace system("touch conf.esdtest") with fopen/fclose in the
test code (see, e.g. glib-2.0.m4 -- sdl.m4 does the same.)
.. so that KMSDRM_CreateDevice() can fail and SDL_VideoInit() would
move on to next bootstrap member which is kmsdrm_legacy. hopefully
fixes bug #5393.
Specifically this patch which does not invoke _AC_PATH_X_XMKMF and
_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT internal autoconf routines when cross-compiling:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=33c3a47c04ab70a4dd54963fe433a171bc03747f
Without this, CFLAGS would brokenly have system include paths like
-I/usr/include/X11 when cross-compiling e.g. for windows. (And it
also resulted in annoying imake crashes for my setup...)

I was trying the KMSDRM video backend with some very simple programs that were working ok on 2.0.12. The same code won?t work on the current dev branch and I get:
DEBUG: check_modesetting: probing ?/dev/dri/card0?
DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 connector, encoder and CRTC counts are: 4 5 6
DEBUG: check_modesetting: probing ?/dev/dri/card0?
DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 connector, encoder and CRTC counts are: 4 5 6
DEBUG: KMSDRM_VideoInit()
DEBUG: Opening device /dev/dri/card0
DEBUG: Opened DRM FD (3)
DEBUG: no atomic modesetting support.
DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized
INFO: Using SDL video driver: (null)
DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized
After carefully checking, the radeon driver doesn?t support atomic modesetting. That?s not the only problem : the same happens with the amdgpu driver if we disable Display Core (kernel parameter amdgpu.dc=0, which is required to get analogue outputs working).
This is a major regression in the KMSDRM driver.
Using atomic mode setting is great, but having no fallback to the "standard KMS" is bad.

I've tracked this down to the following changeset bb65ba8e039b
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/diff/bb65ba8e039b/Makefile.in
this changeset renames the rule `build` to `build/.created` but the rule `install-lib` still depends on the rule `build`
This affects users who are trying to install via homebrew who are installing via source and not by the bottle as this invokes `make install`
To be clear, the error I was hitting when running make install is
make: *** No rule to make target `build', needed by `install-lib'. Stop.
