+Origin: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL-1.2/commit/447ec3d2c360902aa648bec44b612a040248871e
+From: Ozkan Sezer <sezeroz@gmail.com>
+Description: loadso, dlsym, SDL_LoadFunction: cleanup the underscored name path.
+ - strlcpy was passed a wrong buffer length parameter. has worked so
+   far by luck.
+ - use memcpy instead of strlcpy for simplicity.
+ - 'append' has been a typo: should be 'prepend'.
