Thanks for the report. I believe this is some sort of regression in SDL2
2.0.4. Four days ago pygame-sdl2 built fine with SDL2 2.0.2.
pygame_sdl2.error.c is auto-generated at build-time and the error
message,(__pyx_t_3) is controlled by SDL_GetError(), so there is not
much I can do here. I will disable this specific -format hardening check
for now and re-enable it as soon as this issue is resolved in
src:libsdl2 and related packages.

Regards,

Markus
