Only for software using Libtool. For example, this works: guix build intel-mpi-benchmarks --with-input=openmpi@4=openmpi@5 This particular package uses CMake, which is more common than Autotools in this domain. Maybe someday we’ll just remove .la files wholesale, as Debian and others have been doing for a while. Ludo’.
