not entirely sure what's wrong on your system, but it isnt libsdl that's for sure post the config.log and the output of `emerge libsdl >& log` as attachments
Created attachment 95256 [details] config.log
Created attachment 95257 [details] output of `emerge libsdl >& log`
See also bug #145426 -- it seems to be a similar failure.
Oh, the stupidity! Entirely my fault. When removing an array of dangerous CFLAGS in preparation for an `emerge -e world` a while ago, it seems I accidentally removed the optimisation flag. With -O2 it builds, and it'll probably make my system a wee bit more responsive ...
