SDL_CONFIG = sdl-config
CPPFLAGS += `$(SDL_CONFIG) --cflags`
CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra
LDLIBS += `$(SDL_CONFIG) --libs`

although the SDL_CONFIG is crap anyways and you should be using autoconf

and using gcc-specific-ish flags like -Wall -Wextra while not using GNU make 
seems kind of dumb.

why is that a problem ?  everyone and their dog has `gmake`.
