First tried to build with homebrew, which failed.
(see https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/23930)

Then tried to build directly from source, which also failed.

It looks like there's something wrong with your SDL 2.0 install.
Does this file have the missing symboles?
/usr/local/Attic/SDL/2.0/lib/libSDL2.dylib
Comment 2 maserfish 2013-11-11 16:28:47 UTC 
The problem was that I had a previous install in /usr/local/Attic, but I had forgotten to delete one of my symlinks to it in /usr/local/lib.

perigee:/usr/local/lib$ ls -l | grep SDL
libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib -> ../Cellar/sdl2/2.0.0/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib
libSDL2.a           -> ../Cellar/sdl2/2.0.0/lib/libSDL2.a
libSDL2.dylib       -> ../Cellar/sdl2/2.0.0/lib/libSDL2.dylib
libSDL2.la          -> ../Attic/SDL/2.0/lib/libSDL2.la
libSDL2_test.a      -> ../Cellar/sdl2/2.0.0/lib/libSDL2_test.a
libSDL2main.a       -> ../Cellar/sdl2/2.0.0/lib/libSDL2main.a

I deleted the symlink that pointed to the Attic version, and since there was no corresponding .la file in the Cellar install, I was done.

After that I tried installing again with:
brew install sdl2_image

and everything worked as expected.
