Not that I am aware of; at least, nobody else has reported that they are. Are you sure you're running a suitable model of Raspberry Pi (preferably an RPi 3; an RPi 2 may run BBCSDL but very slowly) and a suitable OS (Raspbian Jessie or Stretch)? That error message looks like what you might get from a Raspberry Pi which is too old, or with an OS that is too old, or both. But (as I always say) I'm far from being a Linux expert so there may be other causes.
