It happens with the git trunk, which downloads the sdl-image package from
hydra.

The library is not linked with libpng:
$ ldd 
/gnu/store/0sp8kyd2vrmsw79gnw0g31wvvdjnfxwc-sdl-image-1.2.12/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.4
 | grep png
prints nothing. So maybe an explicit linking step is needed?

Or does sdl-image dlopen the libpng library? Then more work might be needed
so that the sources contain the correct path.
