Kobo Deluxe / Wayland: Failed to initialize SDL!

[smcv]

Prerequisites:

• Debian testing (Debian 12 alpha)
• Video: GNOME 43 in Wayland mode (with Mesa 22.2.0 on AMD Vega, if it matters)
• Audio: Pipewire 0.3.59, with pipewire-pulse emulating PulseAudio
• apt install kobodeluxe (Debian package version 0.5.1-10)
• Some relevant libraries:
  • libsdl1.2-compat either 1.2.58-1 (packaged in Debian experimental) or commit 63e4393 (locally built)
  • libsdl2-2.0-0 version 2.24.1+dfsg-1

To reproduce:

• kobodl
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../sdl12-compat/_build kobodl
• SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../sdl12-compat/_build kobodl

Expected result: all work

Actual result: with sdl12-compat and SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland, it fails during startup. Workaround: use X11.
