Sounds very much like the SDL driver didn't get compiled for whatever 
reason, or you are using the -nographic qemu command line flag do disable 
graphic output..

If you don't have SDL development libs then only "dumb" (hidden) graphics 
mode is available.

Try

   make clean
   ./configure
   make

In your configure output I notice you didn't have static versions of the 
SDL libraries available. This will limit the availability of the SDL 
support somewhat.

Use the following to verify which modes have SDL support after you ran 
configure:

  grep CONFIG_SDL */config.h

You should at least see CONFIG_SDL for i386-softmmu.
