Found some issue with makefile.amigaos4 which you may want to change:

1). CFLAGS = -ggdb -O2 -Wall

So it should be for first -gstabs for debug build, and for second, it should't be in CFLAGS, or it always in, even with release mode, which make library be much fatter.

2). -gstabs should be added only when we build debug mode

In other words right block at top of makefile should be like this:


SHELL    = /bin/sh

CC      = ppc-amigaos-gcc

INCLUDE = -I./include

CFLAGS  = -O2 -Wall

LDFLAGS = 

AR    = ppc-amigaos-ar

RANLIB    = ppc-amigaos-ranlib

PIC_CFLAGS = -fPIC -DPIC

#DEBUG_CFLAGS = -gstabs -DDEBUG

DEBUG_CFLAGS =

I.e. when one want debug build, he uncomment that string, and have and debug output from sdl, and -gstabs for stack traces , etc. And when one want release mode, then it builds without eveyrthing to speed things up and to remove debug alltogether.

With that, we have just 500kb of size of static libSDL.a in release mode, instead of almost 4mb in debug mode.
