Comment (by kencu):

 reverting the change that broke 10.6 is easy...

 https://github.com/libsdl-
 org/SDL/commit/d35c737f1c8ba4d28c3d45c557961b3ddce9bef0

 what is not so easy is that everywhere in SDL now, they will no longer
 take steps to maintain 10.6 support ... so this will degrade over time,
 possibly quite quickly.

 might have to peg 10.6 at 2.22.0 which we have on the packages server. And
 that is not too bad -- should be good for a few years, at least.

 And maybe some SnowLeopard lover will come along to maintain it for a
 while with workarounds like we did with 10.4 and 10.5, who knows...
