+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add 'Libs.private' field to pkg-config file
+
+In order to support static linking, SDL_mixer.pc should include a
+'Libs.private' field listing all the libraries that SDL_mixer requires.
+
+This patch adds such a field and also modifies configure.in so that
+EXTRA_LDFLAGS (which is now also used as the value of 'Libs.private')
+no longer includes SDL_LIBS. This is done so as to prevent libraries
+required by SDL from being listed twice when 'pkg-config --libs --static
+SDL_mixer' is run (they're already shown because of the 'Requires: sdl'
+line in SDL_mixer.pc). Makefile.in is also adjusted accordingly.
+
+Upstream status: submitted
+https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3278
