The ideal of course would be to convince libtool upstream that trying
to change the entire world to use libtool makes a lot less sense than
having those few modules that interact with shared libraries have
platform-specific code.
The libtool developers understand that the .la files aren't needed in
normal operation. The reason that they insist on keeping them is so
that `make uninstall' works since the .la files are the only place
that store information about the actual libraries (.so + links vs. .a,
etc.).
Right - we have a "make uninstall", it's called "rpm -e".
Was a libtool fork ever attempted ?
