It sounds like this is the same issue I ran into with sdl_mixer,
although I don't have any symbolic debugging output.  So, I tried
rebuilding my mingw-cross-env sdl libraries using each of the above
configure options in src/sdl.mk, and the problem was not affected
AFAICT.  Tux Typing still exits immediately at the initial call to
Mix_OpenAudio().

I brought this up on the SDL list a few weeks ago and got some useful
information, but without resolving the problem.  They asked me to
provide a small test program demonstrating the problem, which I did.
They then asked for the output of the program running under gdb.  So,
I guess I need to get gdb running on my Windows test machine?

Thanks for any insights or suggestions,
