Configure problem building SDL apps (atexit undefined)

Attempting to build SDL apps (e.g those in the test directory of the
SDL-1.2.1 package) fails as follows. SDL 1.2.1 has just been installed.

Running configure produces the following:

*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why…
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for
the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.0 not found!

The final entry in config.log is the following:

My system is a linuxfromscratch build, using gcc 2.95.3 and glibc2.2.3.
