That's bizarre. The framework doesn't include it; Xcode doesn't seem
to build it at all. How are you meant to link an SDL app?! I also
compiled SDL using the standard makefile, so I have a copy.

Eventually we will probably add a modified SDLmain.m to our source and
build it ourselves.

Oh dear. I don't actually know anything about redistributable binaries
for unix systems. Maybe gas has a build option to remove the libintl
dependency. I'll spend a couple minutes later today and check.

bin/darwin/as is a cross compiling (--target=i686-linux-gnu I think)
build of gas, from GNU binutils (not Apple binutils)

Yep. I had no clue what a scattered relocation was after reading
Apple's Mach-O documentation, until I looked at how the native tools
handled those situations.
