Description anotheruser 2025-11-22 16:20:06 UTC 
the SDL3.spec file  has  the line BuildRequires:  gcc-c++  
but SDL3 is a pure C project. I think this can  be dropped.

Another issue is that libXtst-devel is not pulled in. This has been added recently to the main SDL branch. Looks like it has been an oversight not to include libXtst  as a build requirement.
see  https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/14389

add 'BuildRequires:  libXtst-devel'   to SDL3.spec  file. 
         

Reproducible: Always

Fixed in rawhide (3.3.2-2).

While there are technically some C++ files in SDL3, none of them are used on the Linux build.
