 /opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (provided by the libsdl port) is now
 just a symlink to /opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib
 (provided by the sdl12-compat port).

 Its minor compatibility version should be 12.0.0, and that's what it is on
 my Catalina system, even after rebuilding from source or redownloading the
 binary:
 {{{
 $ otool -L /opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL.dylib
 /opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL.dylib:
         /opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0,
 current version 12.52.0)
         /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
 (compatibility version 45.0.0, current version 1894.40.150)
         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
 version 1281.100.1)
 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices
 (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 52.0.0)
 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
 (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1675.129.0)
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
 (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 1675.129.0)
         /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
 version 228.0.0)
 }}}
 Evidently on your system the compatibility version has regressed to 1.0.0,
 and that should not be. Until that's fixed, nothing should be attempted
 with any port that depends on libsdl. Maybe fixing libsdl will fix this.

 Try reinstalling the sdl12-compat binary:

 {{{
 sudo port -nb upgrade --force sdl12-compat
 }}}

 It doesn't sound a like a common libtool error; it sounds like something
 that needs libiconv and has forgotton to add `-liconv` to the link flags.
 However, let's fix whatever's wrong with your sdl12-compat first before
 thinking about the things that depend on it.
