I don't remember now everything, I worked with it like 2 years ago,  but 
I got the same issue as here

Other example is that SDL is trying to use X11 on Mac which is dropped 
(since 10.8?).

You can ignore my answer as it doesn't stand for anything. It won't stop 
introducing SDL 2.0 nor force 1.2 drop, but asked question if SDL 1.2 is 
getting rotten then asnwer is yes IMHO.
