Aside: there're also a build error when building 78a52916207f via buildroot:

showfont.o: undefined reference to symbol 'libiconv_open'

(even though the libiconv 1.15 exists)

Is there a way to disable building showfont?

I don't think Ryan and Sam will do any new SDL1.2-based releases
in the foreseeable future. (I'm just maintaining existing code..)

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_ttf/rev/de50cffd41e6 should fix
showfont linkage. (If not drop a note here.)
