Summary: RPI compile with "enable-x11-shared=yes" fails miserably at runtime

Description Ron Aaron 2020-03-26 14:34:09 UTC 
Configured with --enable-x11-shared-yes and --enable-video-rpi=no, among other things.

Compiled *on* the RPI to ensure I had whatever runtime libs it expects (normally I cross-compile).

At runtime, SDL_Init() crashes because it's failing to look up symbols. Actually, dlerror() is crashing because I didn't set locales properly, but that is only why it crashes as opposed to complaining.

The first symbol it crashes on is _XMissingExtension, which it's looking for in the libX11.so.  But it's in libXext.so.  

There are a number of similar issues, making dynamic X11 on RPI untenable.
