+- Cherry pick change 6cf087f53a05 from SDL2.spec:
+
+  Thu Aug 29 09:07:45 UTC 2024 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
+
+  Don't build with fcitx support. fcitx support was just added
+  because of a bug (boo#1025413) that could be fixed by building
+  with fcitx support but upstream SDL2 developers fixed it
+  in 2.0.5 when building without fcitx support too. Also fcitx
+  support has always been disabled in SLE/Leap and in Factory
+  it's built against fcitx 4.2.9.9, not the newer fcitx5 so
+  let's disable it in order to reduce dependencies.
