You might have overlooked Martin's hint about "-mwindows". :-)

Note that the "-mwindows" is already returned by

    i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config --libs sdl

so an SDL application should not open a second window anyway.

So the only possible issue is that stdout/stderr might be
suppressed completely, even when the SDL application is run
from the command line (cmd.exe). Is this true, and if so: Is
this an issue for anyone?
