I don't have the real patch for this yet but I have my inner tool to rename
all duplicated symbols for statically linking FPC with C++ code (I have
improved cppclass type). My tool uses objconv :
http://www.agner.org/optimize/#objconv . Rename for symbols is simple with
few commands for objconv ("-dfhs" to list symbols and "-nr" to rename).

Anyway your temporary patch might be better for statically linking with
SDL2...
