Revisting the root of evil. What exactly is wrong with not removing
all *.la files?
Removing all .la files is fine as long as (i) static libraries are not
in use at all, or (ii.a) dependent libraries of static libraries are
explicitly listed along with the static libraries in link commands
using libtool and (ii.b) emulation of dlopening of static libraries is
not required.
