Does not build properly on OpenSUSE 42.2, npm version 5.6.0 about reprocessing-example HOT 3 OPEN

Hey @jdeisenberg thanks for opening this issue. This looks very similar to Schmavery/reprocessing#72

Could you show me cat node_modules/sdl2/sdl2.pc and cat node_modules/sdl2/bsconfig.json?

This is because we kinda generate the same linking flags for all versions of linux, disregarding what the ./configure generated inside the sdl2.pc (which contains exactly the right flags for your distro).
See https://github.com/bsansouci/SDL-mirror/blob/129e47282cc72b7d51246b18a4da48d919799092/postinstall.js#L135.

So eh... the real fix would be to regex parse the sdl2.pc file and generate a more correct bsconfig than this ^.

@jdeisenberg I think this is similar to the fix here: bsansouci/SDL-mirror#2 by @zploskey (which was the solution to the issue ben mentioned) , where we had some unnecessary dependencies specified.
By looking at a couple of pkg-configs including yours, it seems like nothing actually requires -lasound to be statically linked anymore and we can remove this flag. Feel free to try removing -lasound from your sdl2 bsconfig.json and see if that helps it build.
