I'm doing a couple of Merge Reviews for apr[1] and apr-util[2]

seems to be an issue over the inclusion of the .la files in the
apr-devel and apr-util-devel rpms.
According to the Review Guidelines .la files are NOT allowed, but I have
been informed via the bugzilla tickets that the .la files in these
packages are required and cannot be removed.

There are always exceptions, though I'll take a closer look myself
tomorrow. I would venture that apr/apr-util is fixable, whether that
means moving the .la files to -static or omitting altogether.
