Hi. I'm not sure when this began failing to build. This was working at some point.

Using

nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; with haskell.lib.compose; overrideCabal { __propagatePkgConfigDepends = true; configureFlags = [ "-v3" ]; } haskellPackages.sdl2-gfx'

the issue reveals itself: Cabal attempts a linker test using the found libraries via pkg-config which includes an -lSDL2 directive (thus the uppercase SDL2 in the error message). Due to propagation, the argument list is too long and execve will fail somewhere. Consequently, we'll have to employ similar workarounds as for the gi packages as shown in #265678.
