Sorry, I confused install_allegro with _install_allegro (which should be
renamed!).  I should have read my own comment:

/* _install_allegro:
 *  Initialises the Allegro library, activating the system driver.
 *
 *  This is non-static because 4.2.0 binaries reference it.  Newer binaries
 *  should only call this through _install_allegro_version_check().
